On October 14, 1914 the film premiered at the Auditorium Theatre, Chicago. McCormick wrote about the film for the Richmond Times-Dispatch stating the "melodramatic photoplay will prove as effective in gaining 'Votes for Women' as 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was in the abolition of slavery."

The film featured Katharine Kaelred, Olive Wyndham, and Grace Darmond. Also appearing was Anna Howard Shaw addressing a suffrage convention. The complete cast had more than 400 members.

It was shown at variety of theaters nationwide over a two year period. McCormick and the NAWSA organized to coordinate advertising and ticket sales.
