Suffragettes Forever -  The Story of Women and Power (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs) 

E01
In this series, historian Amanda Vickery explores why, in the early 20th century, thousands of  British women
joined a violent militant organisation. In the struggle for women's political rights in Britain, the most iconic
are the suffragettes - but for Vickery the story begins long before these Edwardian activists. 

The
suffragette campaign was the inevitable conclusion of a fight that women, rich and poor, had been pursuing for hundreds
of years against a system that gave men complete legal, political and physical control over the other half of the
population. In this first programme Vickery describes how a wife was the property of her husband - who could if he
chose, beat, rape or even sell her to another man. But the revolutionary politics of the late 18th century opened a
crack in the door. 

From a wife sale at Hailsham cattle market, to the bloodstained streets of Paris on the
trail of the grandmother of British feminism, to the heroic Manchester women attacked at Peterloo, to the great
opportunity of the Great Reform Act, Vickery describes how at every step men furiously resisted giving women an inch.




E02
In this second programme Vickery describes the paradox for British women of a female queen who
thought women's rights campaigners deserved a good whipping. But during Victoria's reign extraordinary women
gradually changed the lives and opportunities of their sex despite successive governments furiously resisting giving
women the vote. 

Vickery introduces us to the spurned mistress of a prime minister, who lost custody of her
own children but won the first piece of modern feminist legislation - child custody rights for mothers. Plus a
passionate campaigner who raised the age of consent and overthrew pernicious laws against prostitutes, a Cambridge
undergraduate who proved that girls could even be better at maths than boys and undermined the centuries old prejudice
that a Cambridge education was for men only, and a certain Mrs Pankhurst and her daughters, who decided that after so
many years of women campaigning for the vote, it was now time to resort to deeds rather than words.

E03
In the final episode of her story of British women's fight for power, the historian Amanda Vickery explores how
the Edwardian suffragette movement became a quasi-terrorist organisation. She asks what they achieved with their violent
campaign and argues they are best understood as part of a war still going on today. 

Vickery brings to life
the enemies of female suffrage too, from the golfing prime minister Herbert Asquith, who had nightmares of being
stripped naked by angry suffragettes, to the furious anti-suffrage societies and their mass meetings in the Royal Albert
Hall. She describes the political skulduggery to stop women getting the vote and the increasing extremism of the
suffragettes in response. 

So what did the suffragettes achieve? Vickery describes the political backroom
deal that finally allowed some women the vote, the abusive treatment of the first female MP Lady Astor and the
misogynistic backlash of the 1920s, revealed through attitudes to a great women's football team. The series
concludes looking ahead 50 years after women won the vote to Margaret Thatcher. Was her election a sign that the
suffragette dream had been fulfilled, or is this a fight that is still going on today?
