 | True Women tells the story of how Texas was won and females got the right to vote through the lives of two pioneer wives. First they kept home while their husbands went off to fight the Native Americans, then it was the Yankees. Their stories are inspiring. They were courageous and gutsy. The book True Women was written by a distant cousin of mine. Georgia Lawshe Woods, played by Angelina Jolie in the film, was my mother's grandmother. Mama was secretive about her family's past; she specifically didn't want me having high falutin' ideas about who we were or to harbor prejudices against the Yankees.
Having made full disclosure, I still say this is an outstanding film that all young people need to see--and the young at heart. |

| The story was great. The only problem, it was is 2 parts and I almost didn't watch the second part because I thought it was over. Should have been labeled as a 2 part movie. I loved the story and the history associated with it. |

| I think that after watching this movie, every woman will want to read the book. It is a great and accurate depiction of life in the old South.My family came from a small town in Texas, called Grahm. These stories are passed down through the family like the treasures they are. Being a true Southern Woman, I am very critical and defensive about what is published, as it is usually " Hollywood Hype" and degrades my Southern Culture and Heritage with their hatered and racisim. This is the real deal ladies and gentleman. Get It if you want a glimpse into the past that tells the real truth about what it was like. This is a glimps into an American Culture to be Proud of ! I highly recomend it.These ladies give new meaning to "Don't Mess With Texas !" |
| Rating | | | Date | September 19, 2007 | | Summary | Texas backbone from era of True Women | Content
| This work establishes the background of how the women of Texas have remained tough with a gentle touch. Miss Windle has established herself as a historical novelist extroidenair. Her discription of the events and background of the families of early central Texas are true, realistic, and touch the heart. Although the sequencing can be a bit confusing, especially toward the middle of the narrative, this is a book worth your time. Especially if you are interested in the background and history of frontier Texas. |
