I really loved the film because I think it portrays in a very real way how life was in 1912 and mainly how women were treated. I didn't know this story until before I watched the film and read the text and I think it's very interesting to learn about what started the fight for women's rights and how they actually started to have them and the film is definitely a good way to do so. It's not just the drama among the characters, but also the historical facts that can teach us, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

'Suffragette' is a historical drama about the suffragettes' movement in England.

The story portrays an average woman called Maud living in 1912 in London. This woman worked in laundry since she was 7 and was a loving wife and mother. Yet, she realises that there was inequality between men and women and eventually decides to join the suffragettes' movement.

Throughout the film, she goes to prison, helps in terrorist attacks and preaches her messages. The climax comes when a friend of her named Emily Davison commits suicide by jumping onto the horse race on Derby Day.

In general, it is an interesting film with a very important message.  However, I would like there had been a little more men's representation supporting the suffragettes as it happened in real life.

I liked the film a lot because it's a very good way of understanding how things were like at the time and the fight that was needed to change. I'm truly sad about how Maud was separated from George and how poorly women were treated.

The suffragettes' fighting is inspiring. They were so selfless, giving their lives to fight for us all. Maybe if it wasn't for their fight, I'd be doing laundry...

I don't want to think of that. I'd rather thank them from the bottom of my heart. I just don't understand why Emily needed to die for the suffragettes to be taken seriously. It makes no sense. Derby Day shouldn't have existed as it did. Society and the king should have listened to them before. Women were not and will never be less than men.

I personally enjoyed the film 'Suffragette' because it has a deep meaning in relation to the women's rights' movement. The film taught me a big lesson: not to take everything for granted and learn that the privilege I have right now by being able to vote as a woman is due to those women's fight.

It's sad to see that such a basic thing like voting was such a big problem back on those days for women like me.

I am now glad and proud of all the women that had to fight for this right, just like Maud did.

Unfortunately, throughout the film we can see how she suffered and was pressed by the society. Men didn't respect or see any value in her, whether it was her husband, the boss or even the police, who was supposed to protect her from all of this, but instead did the opposite.
