For Lauren’s November pick, she goes both historic and political with Iron Jawed Angels, as she educates Greg about the climatic last push for Women’s Suffrage in America. Discussions include makeup tips from the 1910’s, a pointless love arc with Patrick Dempsey, and how to get arrested for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Pin on a yellow rose and ‘Don’t keep them in doubt’. Hurrah and watch for suffrage!
