A Single Woman
A Single Woman is a distinct, lively portrait of Jeannette Rankin (the first American woman elected to Congress; also a suffragist, peace activist and reformer) that takes us from her childhood in 1880's Montana, to her last television interview in 1972. Deliciously political, occasionally chilling, ironic and idiosyncratic, A Single Woman illuminates the role of the individual in the American legislative process with a whimsical amalgamation of storytelling, high-powered discourse and communion. The program is a filmed version of the successful stage play.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a portrait through key political moments, relying on theatrical staging and documentary fragments. It explores the friction between personal conviction and public office with deliberate irony and chilling clarity.
What lingers after viewing is the haunting question of integrity's cost in a legislative system. The blend of archival material and performance creates a dialogue across time that feels urgently contemporary — MovieFinder Editorial
