I think Maud didn't care about women's suffrage or anything like that at first. However, everything in life forced her, from Vi's underage daughter being raped by her boss, and a brief conversation with her husband "What if we have a daughter?" "What should she live?" The reply was cold. A cold sentence "just like you." Later, the loss of the child made Maud collapse. Everything became Maud's courage to move forward, and everything made her realize that this had to be done, not even for herself, but for Vi's daughter, for the next generation.
This film does not portray a senior suffragette, but tells a "outsider" who realizes the importance of women's suffrage. Maude's awakening is the awakening of women all over the world. Everyone starts fighting, fighting for themselves and the ones they love!
Suffragette, remember another great revolution in human history, but few people mention it.
