SUFFRAGETTE Written by Abi Morgan INT. WASHING ROOM. LAUNDRY. BETHNAL GREEN. LONDON. 1912. DAY. The WHIRR of machinery. Glimpses of female hands toiling among huge vats, dresses stained with sweat in the damp grey air. CAPTION: LONDON, 1912. THICK WHITE FOG, AT FIRST NOTHING VISIBLE AND THEN THROUGH THE STIFLING HEAT the FOG IS REVEALED AS BILLOWING CLOUDS of STEAM hanging like a blanket over a vast laundry floor with row upon row of WOMEN washing, pressing and folding endless linen, in continual repeat from vat to hot press to basket. POLITICIAN V/O Women do not have the calmness of temperament or the balance of mind to exercise judgement in political affairs. Through the rising clouds of steam, WOMEN ironing, MRS VIOLET MILLER [early 40s] amongst them.
2. MAUD WATTS [20’S] scrubs a deep washing vat, as the last LAUNDRY WORKERS drain from the floor. TAYLOR (O/S) Maud - take this up to the West
