The new drama from director Sarah Gavron stars Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst, a real-life leader of the suffragette movement who helped many British women gain the right to vote starting in 1918\. (Full voting rights for women in the United Kingdom didn’t occur until 1928.) “Never surrender. Never give up the fight,” Streep’s Pankhurst says in the teaser, which was released to coincide with a push for UK voter registration. (The hashtag #votingmatters is also prominently featured in the tease.) _Suffragette_ isn’t a Streep solo act, of course: Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Ben Whishaw and Brendan Gleeson all star in the film, while Abi Morgan (who handled script duties on _The Iron Lady_ aka the last movie for which Streep won an Oscar) wrote the script._Suffragette_ is out in U.S. theaters on Oct. 23, via Focus Features. Expect an awards campaign to follow soon after. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/15/votingmatters-first-%E2%80%98suffragette%E2%80%99-teaser-meryl-streep-and-carey-mulligan "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined")_._ _Read next:_ [_11 Movies Starring Women That Will Rival Summer Blockbusters_](http://time.com/3754359/summer-blockbusters-pitch-perfect-2-avengers/?iid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/autoplay/?xid=spl-fullbrief-article "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3823379/suffragette-teaser-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3823379/suffragette-teaser-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch the Teaser Trailer of Suffragette Starring Meryl Streep and Carey Mulligan","datePublished":"2015-04-15T19:12:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T06:25:38.798Z","description":"Suffragette will be released in U.S. theaters on Oct. 23","url":"https://time.com/3823379/suffragette-teaser-trailer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta8d77a708d0c5b41/6987eb38e53abaca3d4db570/478650047-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christopher Rosen / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta8d77a708d0c5b41/6987eb38e53abaca3d4db570/478650047-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Actress Carey Mulligan sighted during filming 'Suffragette' in London, England on March 14, 2014.","caption":"Actress Carey Mulligan sighted during filming 'Suffragette' in London, England on March 14, 2014.","creditText":"Alex Huckle—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3823379/suffragette-teaser-trailer/","name":"Watch the Teaser Trailer of Suffragette Starring Meryl Streep and Carey Mulligan"}}]}] ```
