Live Poll: Inspirational Women's History Humanitarian Biopics

when i read the question, the first movie that immediately came to mind was 'iron jawed angels', so that would indeed be my pick...

great poll and great list...and...if you want another one to add, i would also think about 'amelia', the story of amelia earhart starring hilary swank...

urbanemovies,

You have descriptions for the first 22 choices, were you planning to add descriptions for the remaining choices?

Bravo! 'Another great poll in this great series of yours. The suffragists probably inspire me the most, although there are a few close ones like Rosa Parks. As far movies go, Erin Brockovich is the most motivating for me, even though Silkwood is probably my favorite film of these. 

FYC: Mary Mapes in Truth (2015)
(although she probably belongs in a different category, not humanitarian)

Additional Biopics

Marie
Marie Ragghianti: Parole Board Administrator, whistle-blower who defied the Tennessee governor and refused to parole prisoners, when she found evidence of bribery in the parole and pardon process. Her investigation led to the conviction of the governor and two aides.

 Eight Miles High
Uschi Obermaier: Student Movement Icon, an internationally famous fashion model and Playboy cover girl who rejected her opulent lifestyle. She became the face of 1968 student rebellions and Germany's first politically motivated commune, Kommune 1.

Updated Question Categories: (added Whistle-Blowers)

Which female humanitarian* who championed social change or justice inspires you the most, or alternatively their biopic? * Political Activist, Social or Human Rights Champions, Humanitarians, Whistle-Blowers, Rebels, Etc.

LIVE POLL: http://www.imdb.com/poll/P6VoerbuUZU/

another great choice would be 'entertaining angels', the film about human rights activist dorothy day (played by moira kelly)

Thanks, I posted the biopic and a short biography among the honorable mention biopics. The biopic looks like an interesting one, I love Moira Kelly and Martin Sheen, but somehow i missed this one. I don't think it would accumulate many votes though based on its votes total and age. I like to save some spots for future movies and to keep the poll relevant. There seems to a wave of female biopics coming out over the next few years.
