Summary "Votes for Women: A Play in Three Acts" by Elizabeth Robins is a dramatic work written in the early 20th century. The play addresses the pivotal social issue of women's suffrage in Britain, depicting the struggles and conversations surrounding the fight for women's voting rights. The ensemble cast includes characters such as Lady John Wynnstay, her niece Jean Dunbarton, and the outspoken suffragette, Miss Ernestine Blunt, reflecting the varied opinions and tensions present in society regarding women's roles. The opening of "Votes for Women" sets the stage at Wynnstay House in Hertfordshire, introducing the key characters engaged in discussions about women's rights and the upcoming engagement of Jean Dunbarton to Geoffrey Stonor, a political figure. Lady John Wynnstay is portrayed as a matriarch keen on maintaining societal norms, while her niece, Jean, exhibits youthful enthusiasm and curiosity regarding political matters. The characters navigate personal dynamics intertwined with broader societal debates, revealing contrasting views on the suffrage movement, with mentions of planned philanthropic endeavors to support homeless women. The conflict in the dialogue hints at varying degrees of support and opposition to the cause, effectively establishing the setting for the exploration of these critical issues throughout the play.
