A Militant Suffragette

The film 'A Militant Suffragette' (alternatively titled 'The Militant Suffragette') was released in the United States on December 21, 1913, by the Thanhouser Film Corporation. This date falls well within the 'Before 1928' criteria for the United States copyright law. Under the provisions of the 1976 Copyright Act and the subsequent Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, all works published or registered in the U.S. prior to January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. Because this work was published in 1913, its copyright expired no later than December 31, 1988 (75 years after publication under the laws then in effect), and it is now definitively in the public domain due to the expiration of the statutory term.
