Storyline

A drama that tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal State. These women were not primarily from the genteel educated classes, they were working women who had seen peaceful protest achieve nothing. Radicalized and turning to violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality - their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives. Maud was one such foot soldier. The story of her fight for dignity is as gripping and visceral as any thriller, it is also heart-breaking and inspirational. Written by Production

Historicallly inaccurate, but ideologically pure.
13 September 2015 | by See all my reviews

A fundamentalist feminist glossing over of a nuanced historical series of events, which fails to show the real work for equal voting rights (which most people, men included, did not have at this point in history) was done by the suffragists, composed of men & women, who lobbied for 1 person = 1 vote...rather than the openly racist suffragettes who only wanted white, upper class women to have the vote.

At this point in history, usually only white, upper class men holding large property holdings could vote (although some women holding equivalent property ex. Widows running a business, with a number of employees could and DID vote. )

Remember, almost all of the men & women who died on the fields (& hospitals) in World War One did NOT have the right to vote...and even today, voting in most countries is intrinsically tied to military service (i.e. The draft), an obligation that almost always only applies to men. So for the most part,

women get the Right to vote without the Obligation to serve...except in Israel, and most non Western countries.

Avoid this movie, and do yourself a favour by doing a little reading of non-feminist studies peer reviewed historical papers...truth is stranger (& more enlightening) than fiction
