Our suggestions
A romantic drama set during the politically charged early 60s where a sophisticated woman returns to her southern hometown and discovers her options are limited yet discrimination is plentiful. With the help of a Congressional ally, she inspires historic legislation which allows opportunities and protections never before afforded to women.
"Based on the true story of the woman who inspired the inclusion of women in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the United States, 'Charming the Hearts of Men' is a delightful period piece. Despite the political and historical subject matter, the script is light and inspiring, filled with interesting and entertaining characters like the protagonist Grace, a divorced woman who finds herself abandoned by the men in her life and must make it on her own to keep her home. Through her involvement with an important politician, she manages to transform the lives of women forever."
