“was required to sign a contract transferring the property of their souls to Satan. This, we felt, would filter out the extreme superstitious radicals, and it worked.”
Yeeeah, people are trying to justify the quote (which is from Emmeline Pankhurst, Streep’s character in the film) by saying she wasn’t talking about THAT kind of slavery, but the slavery of being unable to vote.
