Fight For The Right Film Screening

Time: 1st November 2013 at 6 pm   Description: Fight For The Right is a short film that explores the campaign fought in Birmingham to give women the vote. In 1909 Prime Minister Asquith visits the city to speak at a budget meeting, where no women are allowed to attend. This decision is met with dismay by Catherine Osler, leader of Birmingham Suffragist, and angry protests by Hilda Burkit, leader of the local branch of the more radical Suffragettes. Years of protests follow, putting pressure on politicians to give the fanchise to women, as Suffragists persistently lobby government whilst Suffragettes to to more extreme lengths to get their voices heard. Their methods differ but united they stand shoulder to shoulder to gain women the right to vote.   Location: Library of Birmingham, Cambridge Street, B1, Birmingham, United Kingdom   For more information visit: Http://birminghamsuffragettes.wordpress.com   @suffragettes12
