I wonder if they'll go into how suffragettes sent boys to die in the trenches during WWI.

Any bets on this film completely glossing over the fact that there were men without the vote, too?

Ooh I hope they include Susan B Anthony's decrying of "15 million inferior black men" getting the vote before her, and the upper class women who opposed to vote because they were already in the inner circles of politics, and the working class women who opposed it for fear of being subject to the draft.

You know, so to make sure to not paint women as this homogeneous blob.

I highly doubt any of that gets in the movie.

Some on Facts Suffrage in the UK. These are things they don't teach you in school.

Before of the Reform Act 1832 only 15% of men had vote
By 1900 still 42% of men did not the vote.
As of 1918 60% of men did not have the vote. (~1 million UK men also died in WW1)
Women always had the same rights as men to stand and vote in Non-Parliamentary elections.
The Suffragettes were a middle/upper class movement. They cared little about the fact working class men and women who could not vote.
