Like it was fine for a 40 min play from when it was set but if we’re being honest and critical it was awkward and two dimensional- that being said it’s historical significance cannot be denied

Suffragette play which combines laughable elements and feminism to create a very popular play that is appealing for both its amusement and political content.
I think the authors were very smart when they were writing this play because they could incorporate their political discurse into a play that is fun and highly enjoyable for people that may not be into feminism.

A fun read, and a light glimpse into suffragette politics.
This is a one-act play, so if you're purchasing a copy yourself, I would recommend trying to find one that is accompanied by something - either critical commentary or other feminist short works of the era. I think this play has a really interesting place in the larger discussion of feminism, the suffragette movement, and Victorian-era sexism, and I think it would really enhance the reading experience to see it alongside some of that critical context.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Misogyny
As the play says, it focuses on women winning the vote, so does prominently feature politics that prevent them from having it.
