Carey Mulligan plays Suffragette's central character, the fictional Maud Watts. Watts's story came together after Suffragette's
creators learned about the many working-class women who fought for the
right to vote. One woman who inspired them was Hannah Webster Mitchell.
Born
to a poor family in 1872, Mitchell grew up resenting unfair treatment
such as being made to darn her brothers' socks while they got to relax.
However, as an adult she initially considered the fight for female
suffrage a middle-class issue: as there was a property requirement for
voters, expanding the franchise would do little for women like her.
Instead,
Mitchell, who'd worked as a domestic servant and seamstress, devoted
her energies to the Independent Labour Party — until she came to feel
that the ILP was more focused on universal male suffrage. By 1904,
Mitchell had joined the Women's Social and Political Union, the group
headed by Emmeline Pankhurst whose members became known as suffragettes.
After
disrupting a political meeting in 1906, Mitchell was charged with
obstruction and given a three-day sentence. Working-class suffragettes
with family obligations often found spending time in custody to be
difficult — unlike most middle and upper-class women, they had no
servants to handle cooking and cleaning while they were away. Mitchell
was no exception to this rule — though her husband was a Socialist, he
ignored her wishes and paid her fine so she could leave jail after one
day. As she noted in her autobiography, The Hard Way Up: "Most
of us who were married found that "Votes for Women" were of less
interest to our husbands than their own dinners. They simply could not
understand why we made such a fuss about it."
Mitchell left the
WSPU in 1907 — in part because she was hurt that Pankhurst didn't visit
when she was recovering from a breakdown — but continued to fight for
suffrage with the Women's Freedom League.
Emmeline Pankhurst
The real-life character of Emmeline Pankhurst, portrayed by Meryl Streep, appears in Suffragette.
Though Pankhurst is seen on screen for just a few minutes, she's a
symbol of inspiration for many of the film's characters — just as
Pankhurst inspired suffragettes in real life.

In
1903, when she was a 45-year-old widow, Pankhurst founded the WSPU,
whose slogan became "deeds not words." In her work for the group, she
gave speeches that encouraged militant action. She declared in 1913,
"Militancy has brought woman suffrage where we want it, that is, to the
forefront of practical politics. That's the justification for it."
Between
1908 and 1914, Pankhurst was imprisoned 13 times. She would be released
after going on hunger strikes, but the police pursued her again once
her health had recovered. This cycle only ended with the advent of World
War I, when Pankhurst directed WSPU members to support the war effort.
In 1918, after the war, Pankhurst was pleased to see women granted
limited suffrage.
Women and men were finally granted equal voting rights in the United Kingdom in 1928.
