Shoulder to Shoulder

Shoulder to Shoulder is a 1974 BBC drama serial created through the collaboration of actress Georgia Brown, filmmaker Midge Mackenzie, and producer Verity Lambert. A dramatisation of the history of the women's suffrage movement in Britain, focusing on the Pankhurst family and their fight for women's right to vote, the six-part series, starring Siân Phillips as Emmeline Pankhurst, is considered a landmark in feminist television drama.

Directed by Midge Mackenzie, Verity Lambert, Georgia Brown, Shoulder to Shoulder leans on a strong ensemble — Siân Phillips, Patricia Quinn — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1974.
