Abstract :
Feminism is quite influential in an age that has started to develop. This can be seen
from the start of the number of films (one example) with the theme of feminism. In this
research, the story of a film called Suffragette 2015 directed by Sarah Gavron, a film that
is very feminine, shows the struggle of British women who want to get gender equality in
certain fields, one of which is in the political field. The view of many people who think
that this woman is a weak and helpless creature makes some British women act against
this view. This research focused on the main character as well as his personal life which
most of which he spent working in a laundry company, the researcher also focused on the
movements in the film. In this film, we could see the injustice and violence that existed at
that time, not even many young women at that time experienced sexual violence in their
place of work. Researchers wanted to see how a movement could affect a person's life,
especially the main characterin the film and the main character struggle that reflected
liberal feminism. Through dialogues, statements and scenes that the researcher has chosen
as points to answer the formulated problems and by using the teachings of feminism,
especially liberal feminism. It was found that there were 3 phases consisting of several
scenes and dialogues to answer the first problem, Maud Watts indifference, Maud Watts
interest and Maud Watts Involvement. From the results the researcher got, Maud's interest
and involvement were in these three phases. In the last result that the researcher got, in
Maud Watts Struggle, the researcher found several scenes that reflected the nature,
purpose, and actions of a liberal feminism based on the theory of Beasley (1999).
