Sister Suffragette (Song)

“Sister Suffragette” is a song from the 1964 Disney film “Mary Poppins“. The song is performed by the character Mrs. Winifred Banks, the suffragette wife of Mr. Banks, who is the father of the film’s children. In the song, Mrs. Banks sings about the suffragette movement, which advocated for women’s right to vote, and expresses her own desire to join the cause. The song features a lively, upbeat tune and a playful, humorous tone, with Mrs. Banks poking fun at the social norms of the time that discouraged women from being involved in politics. “Sister Suffragette” was written by the Sherman Brothers, who composed many of the songs for “Mary Poppins”, including the film’s iconic title song, “Chim Chim Cher-ee”, and “A Spoonful of Sugar”. The song is known for its catchy melody and memorable lyrics, and has become a beloved part of the “Mary Poppins” canon.
