Hard labor in wash laundries, unequal pay to men, no voice in the legal system to the well being of one’s child, as well as no voice over one’s own money because you’re a woman?
Enough is enough!
Women in the early 1900s decided they no longer wished to be non-existent. They wanted equal rights, and the right to vote with men.
Suffragette expounds on the early “foot soldiers” in this cause, in early 1900 Britain. With the movement cast aside as a joke, a small band of women take it up a notch, resorting to militant practices, to draw attention to their cause.
Based on true events, and real people, such as Emily Wilding Davison, whose last act brought global wide attention to the cause, one can see the depth of the meaning “Suffragette”.
It is a slow paced movie. But, it will get you there to the significance of an ongoing fight to equal rights, and the right to vote for women around the globe.

When I went into this movie, I wasn’t expecting excellence or anything… but wow, it was good! The beginning is a bit fast paced, but as the movie developed, it became even more intriguing and better paced. Although Meryl Streep is only in it for like, ten seconds, she still works her magic and does an amazing performance, as does Carey Mulligan. This was a brilliant movie and I would recommend it to everyone who’s in to this genre 🙂
