About this episode

The episode explores the nuanced history of women's suffrage and the complexities surrounding the 19th Amendment.

P&C crack open a Dogfish Head apricot IPA and take on the 19th Amendment — the real history, not the mythology. The standard story says women were yearning for the vote while men kept them down. The actual history is more nuanced. * Who actually opposed women's suffrage (hint: many women), * Why the anti-suffragettes predicted today's social problems with eerie accuracy, and * What the growing political divide between men and women means for the future of democracy. Plus: is universal suffrage actually the right system, or is "everybody votes" a more radical idea than we think? 📬 Send us your thoughts: pigweedshow@gmail.com 🌐 More episodes: pigweedandcrowhill.com 👍 Like, subscribe, and tell a friend
