When we think of the suffragette movement — whether it is in the U.S. or elsewhere — it’s recalling old black-and-white photos or grainy newsreel footage of women peacefully marching to demand the right to vote. In 1912, women in England — after years of their earnest pleas being ignored — took a more militant approach. And that is the focus of “Suffragette,” a political drama in which some women, tired of asking civilly for equal rights, began a campaign of civil disobedience and targeted destruction to bring attention to their cause.
