Summary "Women for Votes" by Elizabeth Hughes is a farce written in the early 20th century. This theatrical work explores the dynamics and challenges surrounding the women’s suffrage movement, particularly through the lives of the Tilsbury family as they navigate societal expectations and their personal relationships. The narrative likely delves into the humorous and sometimes absurd situations that arise from the quest for women's voting rights in a male-dominated society. At the start of the play, the drawing room of the Tilsbury household sets the stage for the interactions between Mrs. Josephine Tilsbury and her friend Mrs. Imogene Brown, as they discuss the recent women's suffrage meeting. The characters are introduced, each bringing their own perspective to the subject of women gaining the vote. Mrs. Tilsbury desires to engage with the movement for her stepdaughter Mildred's benefit, and their conversation reveals tensions between personal aspirations and societal pressures. Meanwhile, humorous dialogues highlight the differing opinions on suffrage, featuring characters like the cynical Mr. Becker, who argues against women's involvement in voting, and the spirited Mildred, who aspires to make a difference. Throughout this opening portion, comedic elements intertwine with serious discussions about gender equality, underscoring the complexities of the women's suffrage movement.
