An account on the suffragette movement in England at the beginning of the 20th century. Women organized around the cause of extending voting rights to their sex. The main character is a working-class woman who joins the movement a bit reluctantly at first, and gets more deeply involved as time goes by. She faces problems at work and at home because of her involvement.
This follows the exact pattern of modern so-called politically-aware productions: didacticism, no humor and an appeal to the audience's emotion rather than reason. Perhaps one could care to read the other side of the coin as expressed in this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/11509811/Why-has-everyone-forgotten-about-male-suffrage.html.
