Amazon.com:
This well-acted, sweeping herstorical epic focuses on the lives of three women, beginning in 1853. China Beach's Dana Delany is Sarah, the family matriarch, whose little sister Euphemia (a delightful and empathetic Tina Majorino) has been living with her best friend, Georgia (beautiful Rachael Leigh Cook), and Georgia's parents (Michael York, Julie Carmen) on a large, bucolic Georgia plantation. After the sisters' father dies, Sarah's husband, upstanding Texas Ranger Bartlett (Powers Boothe), takes "Pheemy" down to Peach Tree, Texas, to live with him and Sarah.
Pheemy and Georgia begin a correspondence chronicling their divergent lives. As Pheemy and her family work their farm and battle Santa Ana and hostile Indians, indulged Georgia is coming to terms with her family's greatest secret: she is one-quarter Native American. Majorino and Cook are excellent in their demanding roles and offer a challenge for their adult counterparts (Annabeth Gish as Pheemy, Angelina Jolie as Georgia). This film, originally a TV miniseries, is an earnest attempt to depict the difficult--and often tragic--role women were compelled to endure during this historically rich but phenomenally difficult time. True Women has plenty of action, but relationships, politics, and grim reality are the true focus, as issues of sexuality, prejudice, human rights, and of course slavery are eagerly examined in the frontier setting. The sensitive should be forewarned: it seems like there is a death every five minutes. --N.F. Mendoza

I love this movie! Gives the viewer somewhat of an idea of what it was like to be a woman in the early / mid 1800's. And, this is only a movie! Excellent acting, great entertainment.

This is a wonderful story! Too many 'westerns' portray women as helpless imbeciles, but this story, (based on true events) paints them as they really are, strong and competent.
The imagery is great. The story line moves at a good pace. It is a two part
movie, so you really get your money's worth. I highly recommend it!

I don't like to watch any movie that portrays women that are wimps. And this is one movie that is NOT like that. This movie is an encouragement that a woman can be strong, can stand up for what she believes in and stay true to herself. Excellent story!

Sort of historical, mostly just long. Lot's of big name actors in what feels like a made-for-TV movie

True Women is worth watching. I read the novel and wanted to see the video version. My husband and I watched it together. We were pleasantly surprised with the superior quality acting and sets. My husband cried when one of the babies died. Being from Texas and knowing the history of the Alamo, San Jacinto and Texas Independence made this movie extremely interesting to us. We liked that it was filmed in Texas also. Altogether a very worthwhile and likable story.
