I had a mother who got involved in grassroot politics when I was growing up. I watched her have agency and become political in a very male-dominated world.

With 'Suffragette,' I was emboldened that there were so many women around me. We had a female writer, producers, production and costume designers.

Having the vote is just symbolic. There are still many issues on which women don't have any right and, in many countries, where women are given very very few rights.

It's well proven that if you have equality in society, society flourishes, and if you have inequality, it doesn't. So it's good for everybody.
