Hello everyone!!! Since today is March 8, International Working Women's Day, I wanted to add the movie Suffragette, which is one of the movies that fit the meaning and importance of the day the most.
The film produced in 2015, tells about the uprisings and organizations of women in England who want to gain their rights and to vote. Sarah Gavron is the director of the movie written by Abi Morgan. Starring Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Natalie Press, Anne-Marie Duff, Romola Garai, Ben Whishaw, Brendan Gleeson, Samuel West, and Adrian Schiller.
In 1912, the Suffragette movement was started in England by women. Maud Watts, a young laundress, also joins the movement through a friend. Women are frequently arrested and imprisoned during their actions and subjected to various tortures there. Women who cannot work without the consent of their husbands and have no right to decide over their children; By heroically enduring all kinds of persecution, they succeed in gaining their voting rights.
Real images
The movie contains very dramatic scenes. Let me admit that I cried heavily while watching the scenes between mother and child as a mother. But if it were not for the determination of these brave and daring women, perhaps we would not have had the courage to claim the rights we have achieved today. And let's not forget that we Turkish women, thanks to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who gave women the right to vote and many other rights in the world, Turkey became one of the first countries to pass these laws. Let's never forget our debt of gratitude to our father.
The war of women was not only to win the right to vote but also to get equal pay and equal rights for the jobs they worked on equal terms with men. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, this goal has not yet been achieved.
