Delivering an earnest speech dedicated to novelist Elizabeth Gaskell Margaret hopes to recruit more women to her suffrage group but her audience prefers to imbibe Dr Hamm's Invigorator, containing cocaine and this, along with Emily's revolt against capitalist mother Helen, tends to dominate the evening. More importantly they take precedence over Helen's intended dinner party for the great and good and Gwen ends up by having her say.

Feb 25, 2015

Margaret has written a feminist pantomime, glorifying famous women but destroyed the script after criticism from her husband. With opening night rapidly approaching Eva comes up with her own play, based on Cinderella and called 'The Dirty Princess' but Margaret is annoyed that it has no social content and plans her own one woman show. However, after the suffragettes hear some upsetting news Margaret agrees to merge the two plays, resulting in a standing ovation and rapturous applause.
