Destination Two: The SUFFERage Movement: Women's Rights Gone Terribly Wrong!
A Word From Your Escort
How do you do? I'm Pearl, and welcome to The Roaring Twenties! I'll be gliding you through the next roller coaster of “The SUFFERage Movement”.
It takes place about two years after the end of World War I in a working-classed section of Tennessee not too far from Memphis. The quaint township of Cawpersville is of particular interest.
It’s August 24, 1920, the glorious day when the scales of justice and equality tipped in favor of domestically and politically oppressed women of America. After nearly a century of controversy and relentless warfare, women were finally granted the right to vote through the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment!
Victory took decades of agitation and protest. Needless to say, such an event that buried subjugation and ushered in a fresh, yet bittersweet era of liberation changed the lives of many and caused a great divide within the once tight-knit community.
Sadly, the trailblazer that lit the path to freedom for many had a scorching effect on namely, the smooth, debonair Mr. Duke Remington and his flapper-girl wanna-be wife, Penelope. Not only did this new-found right allow her to finally play in the political arena with the “Big Boys” , but it also transformed her into a “spanking brand new woman”: quite literally, one could say.
To celebrate this ground-breaking occasion, Penelope decides to host a victory party at their extravagantly- furnished Remington home. A combination of elated suffrage supporters as well as disgruntled opponents account for the majority of the party guests. With every intention of livening things up a tad and further bolstering the supporters' confidence, she kicks the festivity off in grand style!
So, let's shimmy our way into the crowd and get sociable...
