Suffragette

The film Suffragette was successful for many reasons, but specifically because of its addition of both fictional characters as well as creative renditions of real individuals. It shows the obstacles that courageous activists went through when trying to win women the right to vote during the 1910s. The film tries to stay historically accurate and details about the lead Mulligan Maud are based on real accounts of seamstress and suffragette Hannah Mitchell. The filmmakers incorporated material from original testimonies that were opened in 2002-2003.
