Meryl Streep Crushes Another Accent in Suffragette

Suffragette, which portrays the more violent side of Great Britain’s women’s fight for the vote during the late 19th century and early 20th, stars Carey Mulligan as a beleagured young worker who becomes entrenched in the front lines of the suffrage movement. Leading Mulligan’s character and her fictional cohort is Emmeline Pankhurst, a pivotal and very real suffragette and political activist who died in 1928, living to see her mission accomplished plus ten years.
