Watch for free on BFI Player This was the first representation in British film of campaigners for Women’s Rights, before the term ‘suffragette’ was even coined. It’s not sophisticated but it sets the tone for comic portrayals of women activists, always depicted as middle-aged, belligerent crones. The film was based on a magic lantern story by Bamfo...
Watch for free on BFI Player I love this newsreel item – it made me think again about the nature of the campaign for women’s votes. It shows a massive, well-organised rally of suffragists, rather than suffragettes; this was before the rejection of the suffrage bill by the House of Lords in 1913. It’s full of hope. What I love most are the banners t...
Watch for free on BFI Player This absurd silent comedy – released at the height of suffrage – reflects both the increasing militancy of the movement and the public response to it. When his suffragette wife goes off to campaign, leaving him to babysit, the henpecked Mr Brown dreams of becoming Prime Minister and concocting new laws to punish her and...
Buy it on DVD This documentary by one of Britain’s few women filmmakers, Jill Craigie, could not be more topical – the issue of what it meant to be a woman in 1951 in the context of work. One of the main issues for more than 7 million women workers of Britain was ‘equal pay for equal work’, as the National Union of Women Teachers slogan went. It wa...
This is the first film I ever saw in the cinema, so it has a special place in my heart. Especially inspiring was the lovely Glynis Johns as the suffragette Mrs Banks – perhaps a touch too busy to look after her youngsters Jane and Michael – but in such a good cause. She sings the cracking song, “Well done, Sister Suffragette!”
A ground-breaking BBC television series about the history of suffrage through key personalities – such as the Pankhursts. It traumatised a generation with its graphic detail of the horrors of the forced feeding of hunger strikers in British prisons. The Annie Kenney episode follows the career of the former mill girl who started work at the age of 1...
Sarah Gavron’s star-studded film, scripted by Abi Morgan, was the first opportunity in generations for audiences to see this story outside of the classroom. It traces the stories of feminism’s early foot soldiers – played by Carey Mulligan and Anne-Marie Duff – and the activist Edith Ellyn (Helena Bonham Carter), as the movement becomes ever more r...
Oct 8, 2015 · Suffragette sets out to tell the story of the ‘footsoldiers’ of the women’s suffrage movement. Director Sarah Gavon and writer Abi Morgan have therefore made the refreshing decision to avoid a more traditional focus on the famous Pankhurst family and the numerous well-dressed ladies who swelled the ranks of the Women’s Social and ...

Movies about political movements tend to have one of two problems: 1.) The film views the events through the filter of one individual’s experience, narrowing the scope. 2.) The film takes a rote, careful approach, sacrificing emotional complexity. “Suffragette,” detailing the push for women’s suffrage in the United Kingdom in 1911-13 ...
