About the Show

Willow’s campaign to become class president has landed her in trouble with the bullies at school. After a playground bump to the head, she wakes up lost… in 1913, face to face with Suffragette, Emily Davison.

With over a century of history and women’s rights between their worlds, there’s a lot they have to discuss, and it’s far from plain sailing.

With a dose of healthy debate and accepting that you can’t change the past, Willow must discover the confidence to use her voice for change, in her own unique way.
