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?
