British women's struggle for suffrage, in my mind, is just a line in the history book, and we don't even need to remember the specific year - what we need to remember is the year that white men won universal suffrage.

I have to admit that in the education we have received since childhood, we are subtly dominated by the history of men. Women, the group that occupies the other half of human history, have a weak voice in the process of world history.

I cried a few times during this movie.

In addition to the end of Emmeline's death, the most impressive part is the scene where Maud makes his son happy in the pouring rain in front of the window.

It is quite interesting that when Violet quit the operation because of pregnancy, Maud's son was abandoned by his husband and given to a wealthy family. It is ridiculous that women, as the bearers, have never mastered the right to bear the surname and custody of their children, and are restrained by men everywhere, but in fact have a deeper connection and affection for their children who are pregnant for ten months than men.

In every era, advocates of women's rights are being stigmatized, ridiculed and belittled. But I think, in any case, just because I was born a woman, I should also stand on the side of women, I believe that unjust laws can be overturned by me, and a more equal new world can be created by thousands of people such as I am a woman full of awakening consciousness to start.

Finally, allow me to offer a bouquet of lilies to all my predecessors who died for the feminist movement.

    The actors are good, the script is too formulaic, the performance is very conservative, and the overall quality is average. But it is still very moving to think that the various rights and freedoms we have today were won bit by bit by the pioneers of feminism a hundred years ago.

    When you are in the contemporary freedom and rights (especially in the Western world, and there are still many missing), it is hard to imagine that in that era, not everyone had rights, and a hundred years ago, women were still inferior citizen. really shocking

Suffragette quotes

  • Sonny Watts: I took you on, Maud. Thought I could straighten you out.

    Maud Watts: What if you don't have to?

    Sonny Watts: You're a mother, Maud. You are a wife. You're my wife, and that's all you're meant to be.

    Maud Watts: I'm not just that anymore.

  • Maud Watts: [voice over, letter to Inspector Steed] Dear Inspector Steed. I thought about your offer, and I have to say no. You see, I am a suffragette after all. You told me no one listens to girls like me. Well I can't have that anymore. All my life, I've been respectful, done what men told me. I know better now. I'm worth no more, no less than you. Mrs. Pankhurst said, "If it's right for men to fight for their freedom, then it's right for women to fight for theirs." If the law says I can't see my son, I will fight to change that law. We're both foot soldiers, in our own way. Both fighting for our cause. I won't betray mine. Will you betray yours? If you thought I would, you were wrong about me. Yours sincerely, Maud Watts.
