TIL actress Glynis Johns originally thought she was being offered the role of Mary Poppins. To soften the blow of telling her she was being cast as Mrs. Banks, Walt Disney announced she'd get her own song, then quickly called the film's songwriters, who adapted a deleted song into Sister Suffragette en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sis…

Were Emma Goldman's views on the Suffragettes misguided?

The Suffragettes are almost universally considered to have been a force of good, having acquired basic human rights for women, it seems insane, or at least, immoral and/or unethical that anyone would be critical of the suffragettes. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that Emma Goldman, my favorite historical anarchist was quite critical of the suffragettes and declined to support them despite considering herself to be a feminist.

Apparently, Suffragettes argued that women voters would ''purify the nation'' due to their natural inclination towards morality, domesticity, and maternal responsibility.

In Goldman's 1906 Essay, β€œThe Tragedy of Woman’s Emancipation,” Goldman criticized the realism and implications of this, citing that the states which had allowed women to vote at the time did not experience any improvement as a result of women's voting. Specifically, she wrote:

''Has that purified our political life, as many well-meaning advocates predicted? Certainly not. […] Corruption of politics has nothing to do with the morals, or the laxity of morals, of various political personalities. Its cause is altogether a material one. Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world''.

Goldman believed that while the right to vote and other civil rights could be good demands, she stated that, for herself, true emancipation began neither at the polls nor in the courts, but in liberating women from routine stereotypes, biases, and prejudices.

In Goldman's 1910 Essay ''Women's suffrage'', Goldman famously called universal suffrage β€œour modern fetish.”

Also, while not related to Goldman, the book ''The Case against Adolescence'' by Dr. Robert Epstein argues that many of the restrictions placed upon the youth can be traced back to the suffragette movement which, in the process of ending child labor, also advocated for laws that heightened ''the supremacy of elders'' as a means of protecting young people from exploitation, only to have them be exploited further. Unlike Goldman, Epstein is not an Anarchist and proclaims himself to be a Capitalist although he expresses very left-wing ideals in most of his books whether or not he realizes it. Like Emma however, Robert is a youth rights activist.

So my question is: were Goldman's views on the Suffragette's misguided? Or were her criticisms justified? From the perspective of Anarchists, was the Suffragette movement a force of indisputable good or did they have some problematic traits to

Has anyone seen the film Suffragette? What are your thoughts?

Has anyone seen the film Suffragette? If so, what do you think about? If you're not British, did you still feel you could relate to it? Also, if you decided not to go, what is your reason?

I would love to hear your opinions on how the issue of women's suffrage was presented.

Do you accept that the Suffragettes were mainly aristocratic, highly wealthy and favorable to capitalism and the British Empire? Feminism's roots are deeply Conservative.

These women are photographed wearing clothes that would have cost one of her maids a year's wages.

The idea that feminism is not a conservative movement is rather laughable, and the idea that feminist leaders don't want to be rich is rather silly.

Feminism is a capitalist project, intended to boost the labor supply at the expense of family cohesion.

How accurate is Suffragettes (2015 Film directed by Sarah Gavron) as history? Is it true to historical events?

This would help me a lot in my exposition on the topic coming up in a few weeks time.

I’ve studied the topic of Suffragettes and I’m making a comparison on whether or not the film is an accurate depiction of what actually happened.

Any insight?
