Political rights for women

Political rights for women from maggiesalgado

Sources Political rights for women 1900s from maggiesalgado

Sister Suffragette is about the Women's Social and Political Union that was formed in London in 1906 in order to give women the chance to be heard, particularly in the form of political votes. The group was formed to rally for suffrage, the right to vote, for women in the UK and all the members were called suffragettes.

Since Mary Poppins takes place around this time it is perfectly logical for Mrs. Banks to be active in this group and having her sing this song at the beginning of the film shows that she is more interested in being a suffragette than being a mother for her children.

Sister Suffragette (Mary Poppins, 1964)
We're clearly soldiers in petticoats

And dauntless crusaders for woman's votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they're rather stupid!
Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray! 
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
'Well done, Sister Suffragette!'
From Kensington to Billingsgate 
One hears the restless cries!
From every corner of the land:
'Womankind, arise!'
Political equality and equal rights with men!
Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!
No more the meek and mild subservients we!
We're fighting for our rights, militantly!
Never you  fear!
So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
'Well done! Well done! 
Well done Sister Suffragette!'

5. Sitúa a los personajes femeninos en una posición de inferioridad y dependencia.

6. Excluye a las mujeres de las decisiones económicas de mayor relevancia.

8. Niega los deseos y voluntades de las mujeres y muestra, como “natural”, su adecuación a los deseos y voluntades de las demás personas.

9. Representa al cuerpo femenino como objeto, esto es, como valor añadido a los atributos de un determinado producto; como su envoltorio, en definitiva.
