The women's equal rights movement began in England. The film tells the story of the movement of women to demand equal voting rights in England in 1912. Many awakened women have devoted themselves to their careers one after another, and launched a magnificent violent protest. The structure of the film is uneventful and has no bright spots. Compared with the main theme of the history of black and same-sex struggle for equality, it is also uncharacteristic. What is more interesting is the ending subtitles, including China in 1949, Saudi Arabia in 2015, etc., briefly comparing the vertical and horizontal women's affirmative action.

    I was trapped too much by the trailer, I thought it would stir the hearts of thousands of women and women's friends, but I didn't expect to finish the story quite calmly. But it may also be my prejudice. The feminist movement has not ended so far. This is not a vigorous revolution, but a long journey for the growth of the entire social consciousness.

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.
