Suffragetto

Suffragetto was a board game published in the United Kingdom around 1908 by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU)[1] and manufactured by Sargeant Bros. Ltd.[2][3] In modern terms, it was developed to "enact feminist ideology in a hybrid fantasy-real world environment"[4] to support the activist strategies of the suffragettes.

[2] The game is a contest of occupation featuring two players around a grid board representing the streets of Edwardian London.

The game is won by the first player who introduces six markers into the opponent's base.

[5] The WSPU were enthusiastic about manufacturing and selling the game, as it would allow the organisation to continue running without having to depend on donations from wealthy individuals.

[6] The game of Suffragetto was demonstrated in the second episode of the first season of the 2018 BBC documentary series Further Back in Time for Dinner.
