Meryl Streep at the London premiere of Suffragette Wednesday Oct 07,2015

 

Set in 1912 and 1913, it gives us Meryl Streep, no less, as the formidable Emmeline Pankhurst, who urged women to commit ‘civil disobedience’ in pursuit of the elusive right to vote. 

But MerylStreep makes only a cameo appearance. Wisely, writer Abi Morgan tells the story through the fictional working-class character of Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan)
