Hillary Clinton running to be the first female U.S. President and candidates like Donald Trump frequently making despicable comments about women (and frankly everything else), there\'s never been a better time to acknowledge the courage that the Suffragettes showed and the importance of securing equal voting rights for women in Britain in the early 20th century. Now more than ever, every vote counts if you want your say.

This trio of costumes from the historical movie were deigned by

Jane Petrie and were photographed on display at the FIDM Museum in Downtown L.A. on February 12, 2016.

Suffragette film costumes exhibited behind reflective display cases at the ArcLight Hollywood cinema last October, but it was nice to see them so brilliantly displayed out in the open with an extra costume worn by Meryl Streep in the movie.

This collection of costumes wonderfully shows the diversity of the women who fought for the right to vote, they came from all walks of life, from factory worker to high society, old and young, mothers, daughters and sisters.

Carey Mulligan plays a 24-year-old laundry worker who becomes caught up in the Suffragette movement.
