Women's Suffrage: The History They Don't Teach You (ep 625)

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.

Plus: is universal suffrage actually the right system, or is "everybody votes" a more radical idea than we think?📬 Send us your thoughts: [email protected] 🌐 More episodes: pigweedandcrowhill.com👍 Like, subscribe, and tell a friend
