Game play

The game "pits opponents and supporters of suffrage against each other in a game similar to rummy."[1] The game contains forty-eight cards, divided into six different categories.[2]

Background

The game was published and manufactured by Peter Gurney in 1909 in London.[1][2]

The game was named after Emmeline Pankhurst, an English suffragette and leader of women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. The cards were designed by Edward Tennyson Reed, an English political cartoonist and illustrator well known for his work in the magazine Punch.[1] The cards featured images of prominent figures of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom.[2]

The game was widely advertised and distributed by the Women's Social and Political Union, along with private merchants.[2][3] Packs of the game originally sold for two shillings.[4]

The "translation of the women’s suffrage movement into card games, and also board games, helped bring the message of the cause into domestic circles where more overt forms of propaganda might not have been welcomed."[1]

gollark: A somewhat bad demo of ARC (https://forums.computercraft.cc/index.php?topic=10): basically, it displays text on overlay glasses when you're near "beacons" which broadcast text to display. Look at the top right, the top left/bottom left are not ARC stuff.
gollark: Hmm. That's annoying, then. I'll just have to wait a bit or try and dredge up some old Android device which mostly fits my criteria.
gollark: Apologies if it's already been mentioned a lot, but my phone's (nonreplaceable) battery is degrading beyond the point of usefulness, so I probably need to replace it soon, and it seems that I can't really get other devices with replaceable batteries. So anyway:- can I get a PinePhone in the UK, ideally without horrible shipping cost and within... a month or so? If so, how/where?- how is the support if the hardware breaks somehow?- is it at least usable enough that I can use it for phone calls/SMS/web browsing reasonably reliably?
gollark: Activating orbital lasers.
gollark: I'm kind of expecting phone docks to replace laptops and desktops for a lot of users in the next decade.
