Overview
A historical, fictionalized documentary film telling the story of the first Polish emancipated women, whose efforts, persistence, and consistency led Józef Piłsudski to sign a decree on women's suffrage on November 28, 1918. It shows their difficult struggle for access to education and paid work, their commitment to regaining independence, and their steadfastness in spreading the ideas of freedom and emancipation. It emphasizes the fact that Poland was one of the first countries in the world where women obtained full voting rights.
