Q1. Why do you think Oscar Wilde's trial was handled the way it was? What do you make of the euphemisms, how the evidence was used against him, or why he was punished? Was he being made an example of, and if so, why do you think so?
Q2. Why was suffrage important to people fighting for women's rights?
Q3. Do you think the tactics used by suffragists were the most effective options? Why or why not? (This is kind of an unhelpful question, since you can't guess what would have been more effective, but use this as a thought experiment. The present wasn't inevitable, it is the result of billions of little decisions over the course of history.)
Q4. How were the suffrage movements in England and America similar? How did they differ and why?
Q5. What were the various impacts of race on the fight for the vote? (We'll get into this more next week, but we can already see some here.)
