Okay no but like the fact that Suffs gives us the moment of joy of "the Amendment passed" and then almost immediately undercuts it with the Black characters going "yeah, but you know that won't apply to us" is so important?
Because I didn't really learn about the way Black women were treated during the Suffrage movement until GRAD SCHOOL when I was specifically writing a paper on intersectional feminism.
The way I remember learning it was "yup, women got the right the vote" with the implication that EVERYONE was now free to vote.
No wonder the show isn't running on Broadway any more, it wasn't white-washed enough.
ALSO the fact that the straight couples gets to sing "When we are married" while the lesbians stand on the other side of the stage singing "IF we were married"???????????
