This episode involves a look at a satirical and witty collection of poetry providing commentary on the women's suffrage movement, which was advocating for women's right to vote at the time.

We enjoyed the use of humour and irony to make a compelling argument for women's suffrage by highlighting the contradictions in how society perceives women. The title poem was a part of the broader suffrage movement in the United States, which ultimately led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote. Alice Duer Miller's work played a role in raising awareness about the suffrage cause. In fact, her hand in drafting the changes was greater than we first thought - listen to find out more.

We apologise for some problems with the sound around 20 minutes into the podcast and hope this does not hamper your enjoyment of it. We have yet to identify what gremlins were at work!
