In "Iron Jawed Angels," President Woodrow Wilson was elected into office by a coalition of voters who supported his progressive platform, including women’s suffrage and social reforms. His election in 1912 was marked by a split in the Republican Party, allowing him to win with a significant electoral majority. Wilson's administration, however, initially opposed the suffragist movement, leading to conflict with activists like Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. Their relentless advocacy ultimately contributed to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
