Mothers. Daughters. Rebels.

This stirring story centers on Maud, a working wife and mother whose life is forever changed when she is secretly recruited to join the U.K.'s growing suffragette movement. Galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst, Maud becomes an activist for the cause alongside women from all walks of life. When increasingly aggressive police action forces Maud and her dedicated fellow suffragettes underground, they engage in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with the authorities, as the women's civil disobedience escalates and sparks debate across the nation.With a powerful ensemble cast including Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter and Meryl Streep, this intense drama tracks the early feminist movement in the fight for the right to vote in an effort to honour the extraordinary British women who risked everything for equality.
