The Most Historically Accurate Hollywood Films

Suffragette

Suffragette depicts British women's struggles to earn the right to vote in the 1910s. Though a film with this theme isn't unique, it stands out from others because it focuses primarily on women in the working class. The main characters in the film are fictional, but the events aren't. The experiences and places gave a voice to women of that era in a way that women of this era can sympathize with.
