In honour of Emmeline Pankhurst Day in the U.K. yesterday, Suffragette has released three teaser character posters (below). These feature Helena Bonham-Carter alongside Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep. ComingSoon.net writes:

‘Suffragette is a powerful drama about the women who were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality in early-20th-century Britain. The stirring story centers on Maud (played by Carey Mulligan), 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 (Meryl Streep), Maud becomes an activist for the cause alongside women from all walks of life. Inspired by true events, Suffragette is a moving drama exploring the passion and heartbreak of those who risked all they had for women’s right to vote – their jobs, their homes, their children, and even their lives.’

The film itself is not only representing a crucially important time in women’s rights history, but is also making history itself, as the first commercial project to be allowed to shoot in the Houses of Parliament. You can read more here.
