SUMMARY:Humanities at Play: Votes for Women with Sarah Keyes
DESCRIPTION:Passed by Congress on June 4\, 1919\, and ratified on August 18\, 1920\, the 19th amendment legally granted women the right to vote in the United States. But achieving this milestone took more than seven decades of progress and protest; the American West in particular was crucial to organizers in the women’s suffrage movement. As part of our celebration of Women’s History Month in March\, learn more about women’s suffrage and this period in American history from historian Sarah Keyes (University of Nevada\, Reno) at The Glass Die on Wednesday\, March 12 from 6 to 8 pm. At this Humanities at Play in-person event\, Keyes will first share her work and research on the study of suffrage in the U.S. West before audience members play the board game Votes for Women (Fort Circle Games\, 2022) \nVotes for Women invites its players to join the suffrage movement\, organize support\, and campaign for victory across the 48 states that were called to ratify the 19th Amendment in 1919-1920. The game’s artwork is inspired by the classic designs used by suffragists themselves\, and features period art\, portraiture\, and historic documents. Campaigners move across the map to distribute political capital with a roll of the dice that will determine whether each state votes to ratify the amendment or opposes the Vote after three eras of play. Dig deeper into the history and maneuver through the critical choices that suffragists faced for a chance to guarantee equal franchise for all and win!
