After your romantic weekend...make sure you're ready for 2 great events on HBO Sunday night:

At 9 pm, be sure to catch the second-to-last episode of "Sex and the City."

Stick around and watch the new HBO movie, "Iron Jawed Angels" at 9:30 pm.

"Iron Jawed Angels" recounts for a contemporary audience a key chapter in U.S. history: in this case, the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920. Breathing life into the relationships between Paul, Burns and others, the movie makes the women feel like complete characters instead of one-dimensional figures from a distant past.
