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.

Suffragette quotes

  • Emmeline Pankhurst: We do not want to be law breakers. We want to be law makers.

  • Inspector Arthur Steed: The fear is, they won't break, Sir. If one of them dies, we'll have blood on our hands and they'll have their martyr.
