Suffragette - Actions instead of words

Maud (Oscar® nominee: Carey Mulligan) is a working mother who is initially drawn into the incipient women's rights movement around Emmeline Pankhurst (Oscar® winner Meryl Streep) rather by chance. Maud's desire for equal rights leads to her losing her job, being thrown out on the street by her husband and having to fight for the right to see her son herself. But the women, so-called suffragettes, stick together to continue the inspiring and heart-warming struggle for women's rights, dignity and self-determination.
