This review presents a British play about the suffragist movement, namely, the women's
struggle for the right to vote, in the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. At that time,
only men could vote. "Sufragette" was the name initially used to call the Woman Social Political Union
activists. This organization was created by Emmeline Pankhurst, and it was considered the most
radical of the women's unions. Emmeline and her daughter, Sylvia Pankhurst, represented two
important generations of the movement. The Parliament approved the female vote for women aged
from 30 (as long as they were owners of some properties) only in 1918, and ten years later they were
finally allowed to be candidates to the Parliament as well. A controversy about the movement is the
criticism related to race and class of the sufragettes, since they mostly represented the white elite,
cutting off lower-class and black women.
