The year is 1896. The place is Sacramento. The subject is women's suffrage. The speaker is Susan B. Anthony. Some of her toughest critics are women. Will they even step out of their worlds to listen?

A young Irish seamstress named Mary Margaret is about to find out. Her world is controlled by the conventions of her time and the traditions of women like Miss Ames, who owns the millinery shop where she works. Then a young woman doctor named Jennie Kellogg arrives with thoughts of her own, and Susan B. Anthony is just a few steps away, trying to change misconceptions about women's rights.

Each year the nonprofit Access Sacramento selects 10 short scripts and gives screenwriters the opportunity to turn their scripts into film. In 2007 Capital Women by Suzanne Jones was selected for production. The film will be shown on Access Sacramento Public Television and in the 'A Place Called Sacramento' Film Festival October 7, 2007 at 1 PM.

The film was shot in the Delta town of Locke at the Chinese Schoolhouse building (http://www.locketown.com/school.htm).
