The game pitted Suffragettes \u0026ndash;women seeking the right to vote \u0026ndash; against London police, with players basically orchestrating running street battles between the groups. It\u0026#39;s easy to look at the setting as a sensationalized product of the times \u0026ndash; oh no, the women are rebelling! \u0026ndash; but there\u0026#39;s historical grounds for the combative setting, with the movement in the U.K. (women wouldn\u0026rsquo;t be granted full voting rights until 1928) characterized by an escalation from peaceful protest to acts of arson and even bombings\u0026hellip; \u0026ldquo;Suffragetto is a way to interact with the kind of physical feminism promoted by the Women\u0026rsquo;s Social and Political Union (WSPU), through leisure, and enacts feminist ideology in a hybrid fantasy-real world environment. Further, it allows players to experiment with alternative forms of resistance.\u0026rdquo; Renee M.
