Suffragette: The 19 Days of Suffrage Giveaway

When you take the time to vote this year, remember to take a moment and thank all the women who fought to give you the right to vote. It was not an easy battle. Those who fought for our right to vote lost so much. Equality was an alien term for the leaders during that time and sparked fear in those who could not handle change. As such, these Suffragettes were made to look crazy, never allowed to see their kids, had to hide from the law, lost their jobs and some even lost their lives. Yet, the women continued to fight, never giving into the popular archaic thoughts that infected the lives of society. The women looked to the future, to hope of equality.

In recognition of their fight, Focus Features took this momentous event in history and created a film, inspired by true events, called Suffragette. This heart-breaking and inspirational drama focuses on the real foot soldiers of the Suffragette movement and how they turned to violence as the only route to change. They were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality – their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives.

    We definitely, have a lot more options and freedoms than we used to. I am so grateful for the women that came before me for these freedoms, including the right to vote.

  1. For me it means showing my daughters that women can do anything that men can do.

    Being a woman today means showing your daughters how it is to be proud and strong, and your sons how to be respectful and treat everyone equally.

    As a Woman I am grateful for the rights and choices I have. One issue I have had to deal with many times is: Men not believing I know what I am doing when I am working on a car, or doing construction.
