[Machine Translation] At a time when women were not allowed to vote or even have parental rights, these courageous women sought suffrage and tried to change their destiny and the world with their own hands. An inspiring drama based on a true story! Starring an impressive cast of Academy Award-winning ( R ) actresses including Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Meryl Streep! --London, 1912. Maud works at a laundry in poor conditions and lives with her husband Sunny, who also works there, and their young son George. One day, on her way to deliver the laundry, Maud is peering into the show window of a clothing store when suddenly a stone is thrown into the glass. She bumps into the "action" site of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), a women's suffrage movement. This was her first encounter with the suffragettes. Maude's life changed dramatically. She was asked to testify at a House of Representatives hearing. Through the experience of telling her story and how she was treated at the factory, she discovers for the first time that she wants a different way of life. However, her wish for a change in the law was not granted, and many of the women who participated in the demonstration were beaten and arrested by the police. The charismatic leader of the WSPU, Emmeline Pankhurst, encourages them through her speech.
