"Suffragette" stars Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan, and Helena Bonham Carter as members of the ever-growing group of women who want fairness from their government -- and are willing to go to violent, radical lengths to get it. As Maud (Mulligan) explains to one sneering man, "We break windows, we burn things, 'cause war's the only language men listen to."
Edith (Bonham Carter) refers to herself as a soldier, while Emmeline Pankhurst (Streep) excitedly "incite[s] the women in Britain to a rebellion." They're beaten, thrown in prison, their children are taken away, and yet Maud and her cohorts remain defiant -- and hopeful -- that they'll see success in the end.
"We will win," Maud declares to the same clueless fellow from before. We know she's right, and yet we also know it's a long, difficult road to get there -- and one many women are still on.
"Suffragette" is due in theaters on October 23.
