| Summary: | Beginning in the 20th century, the philosophy of the British women’s suffrage movement evolved in a manner that encouraged the awakening of more women. From the middle-class women of the 19th century, the group of participants in the movement steadily shifted below, and the action for women’s suffrage grew in popularity. Suffragette uses the feminist awakening of the fictional protagonist, Maud Watts, to illustrate the immense fight and sacrifice women made for the right to vote at the time. The usual character of Maud Watts is quite valuable for research purposes. The great battle of women suffragists for the right to vote might be better comprehended by examining her transformation from apathy to spontaneous pursuit of women’s rights.
