From its sketched out female characters to its subject matter, Netflix's Enola Holmes places feminism front and center in its story. Throughout the movie, we get allusions to a reform bill. While we don't know much about the law, the film indirectly references the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. While searching for her mother, Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) heads to Limehouse Lane and encounters a hideout containing explosives. There, she finds a flyer with "Manchester National Society for Woman's Suffrage" printed on it. The speakers are indicated on the page as Amie Hicks, Gwyneth Vaughan, and Margaret McMillan. In case you wondered, these names aren't random.
If you sleuth the web, you'll find that Hicks, Vaughan, and McMillan were real-life European suffragists, much like Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter) and Edith (Susie Wokoma). Here's what you should know about these three and how they moved the needle forward for women.
