A Single Woman serves as a powerful biographical study that challenges traditional gender narratives of power. By placing a female icon at the center of the political stage, it successfully repositions women from the periphery of history to the heart of legislative ability to act. However, the film's historical period setting and specific biographical focus create limitations. The narrative lacks explicit depictions of LGBTQ+ identities and reflects the racial demographics of the early American political landscape. Ultimately, the film succeeds as a critique of established power structures. It uses Rankin's life to explore how individual conscience can contest and reshape institutional norms.

Official Synopsis
A Single Woman is a distinct, lively portrait of Jeannette Rankin (the first American woman elected to Congress; also a suffragist, peace activist and reformer) that takes us from her childhood in 1880's Montana, to her last television interview in 1972. Deliciously political, occasionally chilling, ironic and idiosyncratic, A Single Woman illuminates the role of the individual in the American legislative process with a whimsical amalgamation of storytelling, high-powered discourse and communion. The program is a filmed version of the successful stage play.
