Anecdotes
In 1921, "Mothers of Men" was re-released under the title "Every Woman's Problem."

Gaffes
Outside the "Democrat" offices, a chalkboard with latest headlines talks of congress voting to allow the president (Wilson) to declare war, indicating this is supposed to be happening in April, 1917. However, later, we see at the police station, a large wall calendar for August, 1916.

Citations
Title Card: Newly released from the fetters of political inequality, Woman to-day enters a wider field of service for the common good - the winning and holding of public office. In this great adventure are opportunities for both success and sorrow - the chance of martyrdom to high ideals - to know strange new heartbreaks, and play a piteous part in tragedies never enacted before.

Autres versions
Mothers of Men (1917) was originally 8 reels long. The five-reel version came about from suggestions by the Woman Suffrage Party and the National Woman's Party.

An Unsuitable Job for a Governor

As women's emancipation became a much-discussed issue in the years preceding the 19th Amendment in 1920 it became a subject earnestly discussed in movies like this and 'The Woman on Oath' which professed a desire to Seriously Discuss women's role in modern society while usually hedging their bets with outrageous quandaries and coincidences. So newly elected governor Dorothy Davenport finds herself in the position of having to prove her mettle as a politician by authorising the execution of her own husband for murder or revealing herself a decent, nurturing but weak female by pardoning him.

SPOILER COMING: No prizes for guessing the question is ducked by having one of the genuine offenders have a fit of conscience at the last minute and confess on the gallows; thus saving hubby's neck and sparing Governor Davenport her tough decision.
