2018 marks 100 years since the first women over the age of 30, who owned property, were allowed to vote in the UK.

In this film, Lucy is at the heart of the drama, alongside a group of less well known, but equally astonishing, young working-class suffragettes who decided to go against every rule and expectation that Edwardian society had about them.
