Hey Guys,
Yesterday I finally had time to go and see the movie 'Suffragette'. I was not disappointed.
If your a bit confused the Suffragettes were a group of Women who campaigned for many decades in order to gain the right to vote. Their leader was Mrs Emmiline Pankhurst who coined the phrase: "Deeds not Words", which led to the controversial militant actions of the suffragettes such as cutting of telephone wires and smashing windows in order to make themselves heard.
It worked.
Selected women gained the vote in 1918 which started a chain reaction that meant all women eventually got from 1920 onwards.
The film charts Carey Mulligan's character Maud Watts and tracks how she became a suffragette.
It shows her in prison, rioting and in Darby Day ( thats how its spelt right?)
Anyway, I think it was a beautiful film... And yes I did cry...
Watch the trailer here:
