Galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst (Ms. Streep), Maud (Ms. Mulligan) joins the U.K.'s growing Suffragette movement alongside women from all walks of life who will sacrifice their jobs, homes, and even their lives for the right to vote. The stellar cast of Suffragette also includes Brendan Gleeson (British Independent Film Award winner for Best Supporting Actor for Suffragette), Anne-Marie Duff (Closed Circuit), Ben Whishaw (Spectre), Romola Garai (Atonement), and Natalie Press (My Summer of Love).
