Suffragette + Discussion (12A)

In 1912 London, Maud Watts works long, gruelling hours in a laundry with her husband Sonny, under the glare of manager Norman Taylor. Women earn less than men and are denied the vote, which rankles some of the workforce including outspoken mother Violet Miller. She encourages Maud to join the suffragette movement and speak up against this injustice. Maud becomes heavily involved in the uprising and risks her relationship with Sonny and her young son George.
