This is an engaging documentary about the campaign for the women's vote in Britain in the early part of the 20th century. It will be of great use to students of the topic and the period. The aspect ratio is a little out, as is the soundtrack, but I think the film is still very watchable and informative. Uploaded for education purposes only. Any advertising is unbidden by me.
With Sheila Hancock, Jeremy Clarkson and Jimmy Carr.
