How women fought for the vote

Shoulder to Shoulder is a 1974 BBC drama serial created through the collaboration of actress Georgia Brown, filmmaker Midge Mackenzie, and producer Verity Lambert. A dramatisation of the history of the women's suffrage movement in Britain, focusing on the Pankhurst family and their fight for women's right to vote, the six-part series, starring Siân Phillips as Emmeline Pankhurst, is considered a landmark in feminist television drama.
