In Episode #7 of How Radical: The Podcast, Dr. Chuck Vollan joins Host Ginger Thomson to discuss the attitudes about women’s roles the suffragist had to overcome.

He defines the suffrage movement as a broader movement, encompassing education, jobs, property rights, and fairness related to such things as inheritance.
