Suffragette City

Leading the march for civil rights in the 20th century were women. "Suffragettes" in Britain and the United States worked for change, first through calm persuasion, then through more forceful means. They broke street lamps, cut telephone lines, and one  woman in England even threw herself in front of a horse and was killed. Ultimately, they won the right to vote.
