SUFFRAGETTE
Suffragette
Drama. Staring Carey Mulligan
and Helena Bonham Carter, directed by Sarah Gavron
What women in Britain went
through to get the vote in the 1920s is this movie’s gripping story. The
brutality and cruelty the women faced is depicted with candor and power. The characters
are fictitious but the story is true. Working conditions, male dominance and
political intransigence kept especially poor women powerless. Meryl Streep
plays a walk-in-role as Emmaline Pankhurst, a radical feminist who urged women
on to direct action. Men and women will be disturbed and inspired by this movie
of the wretched job it was for women to have the right to vote.
