| Transcript | shoulder to shoulder The bitter struggle for British women's suffrage is being shown on Masterpiece Theatre on Channel 8. This six-part series dramatizes the way women forced their way to political recognition and focuses on the remarkable Pankhurst family - four women who mobilized a women's army around the turn of the century. The first episode outlined the founding of the Women's Social and Political Union in Manchester, England. The second episode dealt with the spread of the suffragette movement to London and the entry of working-class women into the movement. Episode three centers around Lady Constance Lytton who was tortured and forcibly fed in prison when the women encountered violent resistance from the male-dominated government. Christabel Pankhurst declared war on the government in the fourth episode and women fought men with fists and stones in the streets of London. The two final segments to be shown in November are "Outrage", which recalls the movement's first martyr, Emily Wilding Davison, who threw herself under the hoofs of the King's horse (November 2 & 7) and the last episode, "Sylvia Pankhurst" and victory (November 9 & 14). 8 PM. Midge Mackenzie, one of the three women who created the series, has also used written and visual material for her documentary book "Shoulder to Shoulder" which follows, in their own words, the suffragettes' personal account of their fight for the vote.
