80 Million Women Want—? (alternate title: What 80 Million Women Want) is a 1913 American silent melodrama film. It was produced by Unique Film Co. in partnership with the Women's Political Union.
While not quite propaganda, this classic 1913 silent film (also—and perhaps more commonly—known as “What 80 Million Women Want”) had a clear political message: Allow women to vote—doing so might just clean up politics.
A suffragist exposes a corrupt political boss who had compromised her lawyer fiancé. Travers, a young lawyer and sweetheart of a suffragette, tries his first case (an accident case) brought against a henchman by the boss.
Similarly to 80 Million Women Want—?, the film’s plot involves suffragist characters who, having discovered classic Progressive Era injustices like political corruption and child labor, seek to right a wrong by recruiting powerful, clueless men to their cause.

This 35-minute documentary contains footage from many suffrage-era silent films, including A Lively Affair (1912); A Busy Day (1914), originally titled, The Militant Suffragette, in which Charlie Chaplin portrays a woman suffragist; and the pro-suffrage film, What 80 Million Women Want (1913).
As politicos work to deny women the right to vote, a young lawyer tells his activist girlfriend of the corruption within the government that actively seeks to ensure that her voice is never heard.
