We take our discussion of suffrage to the end of the 19th century! It might take us as long to discuss this topic as it took to actually get the 19th amendment passed.  Main takeaway from this episode: whyte women really don't get intersectionality. (Listen, I had to google it when I first heard the term - I suggest you do the same). But basically, we took our one-issue concern -- get the vote -- and said a big "sorry, maybe later" to basically every other concern out there, but especially to the topic of racism. Before anyone gets apologetic about "well, that's the way it was back then..." Stop. Stop right there. As you will learn, these women knew what they were doing. They had a choice to make and they made the wrong one. It's a choice we are still dealing with, over 120 years later.
