Even though the film is loaded with inaccuracies, a fictional love story that was completely unnecessary, and a horrendous soundtrack, the movie gets the general idea of who Alice Paul was across and provides a decent history of what some amazing women did at the time. I would recommend it, however, I would also suggest getting briefed in early feminism and the suffrage movement beforehand.
