Shout, shout, up with your song!
Cry with the wind for the dawn is breaking;
March, march, swing you along,
Wide blows our banner and hope is waking.
Song with its story, dreams with their glory,
Lo! they call, and glad is their word!
Loud and louder it swells,
Thunder of freedom, the voice of the Lord!

Long, long, we in the past,
Cowered in dread from the light of heaven.
Strong, strong, stand we at last,
Fearless in faith and with sight new-given.
Strength with its beauty, Life with its duty,
(Hear the voice, oh hear and obey!)
These, these, beckon us on,
open your eyes to the blaze of day.
This song was originally posted on protestsonglyrics.net
Comrades, ye who have dared,
First in the battle to strive and sorrow,
Scorned, spurned, nought have ye cared.
Raisng your eyes to a wider morrow.
Ways that are weary, days that are dreary,
Toil and pain by faith ye have borne;
Hail, hail, victors ye stand,
Wearing the wreath that the brave have worn!
This song was originally posted on protestsonglyrics.net
Life, strife, these two are one,
Nought can ye win but by faith and daring:
On, on that ye have done,
But for the work of today preparing.
Firm in reliance, laugh a defiance,
(Laugh in hope, for sure is the end)
March, march, many as one.
Shoulder to Shoulder and friend to friend.

00:00I'll have to call that finished.
00:02Sylvia it's magnificent.
00:04I've had to rush it too much.
00:05If you want a job well done you ask a busy person.
00:08What our mother always said.
00:10Well she was right.
00:11It's absolutely splendid.
00:13Thank you mrs.
00:14We weren't expecting you till tomorrow.
00:18Sylvia's only just finished the banner.
00:19Come and see it's beautiful.
00:23All I want is an explanation.
00:25An explanation?
00:26Is there something to explain?
00:28Yes I think so.
00:30Have we done something wrong?
00:32I think you have yes.
00:35You're sent to London to organize political activity and what you do
00:38within a couple of weeks you book the biggest hall you can lay your hands on.
00:42You commit the movement to all manner of financial obligations
00:44even though you know we have no money
00:46and I am told that I am to address this.
00:49Have you any idea how long it takes to organize a successful meeting on this scale?
00:53Is it too late to cancel?
00:54Much too late yes.
00:58Our first London meeting.
01:01It needed six weeks preparation at least.
01:04As it is can you imagine what our friends in the press will be saying in a few days time?
01:08Last night mrs. Pankhurst addressed the first London meeting of the women's social and political union.
01:13She received a lukewarm reception from an audience of about 25 people mainly friends of the family.
01:18I think you're being very unfair mother.
01:19Everybody's worked very hard.
01:21Of course you've worked hard. We all work hard.
01:23I've been working hard for 25 years
01:25but I still wouldn't be mad enough to think I could take the capital of the Empire in three weeks
01:29however many pavements I chalked on.
01:31I think you're wrong mrs. Pankhurst.
01:33I think the hall will be full.
01:35Really?
01:37And who will this audience consist of?
01:39All our supporters from the East End.
01:42Your people?
01:43I don't own them.
01:45And you think these women will come to the meeting?
01:48I believe they'll come.
01:50We're paying their fares and we're gonna give them something to eat and drink when they arrive at the hall.
01:53Listen if you'd spent more time over your preparations we could have guaranteed that that hall would be filled.
01:58And with people of influence, power.
02:00Not necessarily people you like but people we need.
02:04I thought we'd be doing it for everybody.
02:06All women. Give them all some chance, some hope.
02:16Don't misunderstand me.
02:18I'm not questioning your motives, any of you.
02:21Or your good intentions.
02:23And we're all on the same side.
02:26It's purely a question of tactics.
02:31I'm desperately worried.
02:33If this meeting fails
02:35we could be publicly discredited, bankrupt into the bargain
02:39even held up to ridicule and all through being in too much of a hurry.
02:43You know the right people, the people of influence.
02:46Couldn't you ask them?
02:47Annie I don't think there's time.
02:53All right.
02:55I'll try.
03:00We've got work to do haven't we?
03:02Flora.
03:03Tess.
03:04Can you spare me some secretarial assistance?
03:10Do you think I talked out?
03:12No.
03:13Does my mother good at people stand up to her?
03:15Yes.
03:16I think the banner's beautiful.
03:21Oh Annie I do hope you're right.
03:24How about the meeting being a success?
03:27Sylvia.
03:28So do I.
03:37Sylvia.
03:39I hold it too much.
03:41All we can do is wait and see.
03:42Say a quick prayer that right now.
03:44Does that look alright?
03:46Looks marvellous.
03:48I hope somebody's here to see it.
03:54Are we ready to open the doors yet?
03:57About five minutes.
03:58It's very cold out there.
04:00Is there anyone to open the doors to?
04:01I don't know.
04:02I can't see but I can hear voices.
04:04Let them in whoever they are.
04:05They may as well wait the war.
04:11I'm waiting to hear Mrs Pankhurst apologise.
04:13What for?
04:14Where's she behave?
04:16Are you still upset?
04:18No sense in staying upset is there?
04:20Sire she might be right.
04:22Either way we've got a meeting.
04:23Might be a good one.
04:24Might be a flop.
04:25I've had both in my time and I'm still here.
04:27You better say all that in your speech.
04:29You're still here.
04:30I prefer cutting bread to making speeches.
04:32You are.
04:32You can do both.
04:33Thank you very much.
04:36Ladies.
04:37Madam Chairman.
04:39This is the first meeting to be held in London
04:41with the Women's Social and Political Union.
04:46Ladies.
04:47Madam Chairman.
04:50This is...
04:50Annie!
04:51You've won!
05:06Do you want to watch him.
05:07Please hold assess...
05:12And you can see you.
05:13We hang out now in your house with dinner.
05:15Is that girl?
05:32Yes?
05:32It's okay.
05:34You can stay.
05:34The Republic of America.
05:50Sisters, this is the first public meeting to be held in London
05:54of the Women's Social and Political Union.
05:58Now that might sound like a lot of big words to most of you.
06:01And so they did to me.
06:03I practiced them several times before the meeting to be sure of getting them right.
06:08I shan't use any more big words.
06:10I shall leave that to those who are cleverer than I am.
06:14But I would like to tell you what this movement means to me.
06:19It all started, funnily enough, because I used to sing in a choir.
06:24It was through the choir I met the Pankhursts,
06:27and through them that my life changed.
06:31And whenever I try to explain how my life has changed,
06:35I think of a song we used to sing in the choir.
06:38I shan't sing it to you now because I can't sing.
06:40But I would like to tell you some of the words.
06:44They go like this.
06:46From street and square, from hill and glen,
06:51of this vast world beyond my door,
06:55I hear the tread of marching men,
06:58the patient armies of the poor,
07:02not ermine-clad, nor clothed in state,
07:06their title deeds not yet made plain,
07:09but waking early, toiling late,
07:13the heirs of all the earth remain.
07:17And it finishes.
07:19Someday, without a trumpet call,
07:23the news will all the world be blown.
07:27When heritage comes back to all,
07:30the myriad monarchs take their own.
07:37I, I am one of the patient armies of the poor,
07:41and so are most of you.
07:43But we are not content to be patient any longer.
07:49It is time to take back our heritage.
07:53It is time to take back our own.
07:57And I believe, we believe,
08:01the first step must be the vote.
08:08We've all heard the ancient cry,
08:11no taxation without representation.
08:15Well, I believe it's time to alter that.
08:18What we should say is,
08:20no exploitation without representation,
08:24no slums without representation,
08:26no starvation,
08:27no oppression without representation,
08:30no degradation without representation.
08:38And when the day comes
08:40that the women of Great Britain
08:43receive representation,
08:46I predict we will look
08:48and we will see that all these things
08:50are banished,
08:51the slums,
08:53the deprivation,
08:54the starvation.
08:56At the very worst,
08:58we can't do a worse job
08:59than our gentlemen in Parliament.
09:03And at the very best,
09:05we shall walk equally with men
09:09and with them
09:10take possession
09:12of our true heritage.
09:15My sisters,
09:16I thank you for listening to me.
09:39Amen.
09:42Amen.
09:42I have apology,
09:42I have nothing to apologize for.
