Episode Details

"Are Women People: A Book of Rhymes for Suffrage Times" by Alice Duer Miller is a compelling collection of poetry and short works that captures the spirit of the suffrage movement through sharp satire. Originally published in the New York Times, this collection is divided into five sections, each addressing different aspects of women's rights and societal roles, including “Treacherous Texts” and “Campaign Material (For Both Sides).” The themes of equality, empowerment, and the fight for recognition remain relevant today, making this work not only a historical artifact but also a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for women's rights.
