The Suffragette's Dream (French: Le rêve d'une féministe) is a 1909 French silent comedy film produced by Pathé-Frères.[1]
A housewife falls asleep and dreams of a world in which gender roles are reversed. She attends a suffrage meeting, where the women denounce men. In a park, men are seen taking care of children and crocheting. A female streetcleaner turns the hose on a man, who is then arrested by two female cops. When the wife wakes up from her dream, her husband is enraged to find that she has not prepared dinner, and he beats her.[2][3]
