A note for parents
Suffs is a Tony Award-winning musical that dramatizes the women's suffrage movement from 1913–1920, making it an educationally rich work for older teens interested in history and activism. The show contains some depictions of conflict and protest tactics, and addresses mature themes like racism, class divisions, and generational tension within the movement itself. While the content is historically grounded rather than gratuitously dark, the unflinching examination of both victories and moral failures requires some maturity to process; younger middle-graders may find it heavy or abstract.

Written by one of the most exciting new voices in theater, this epic new musical takes an unflinching look at the unsung trailblazers of the American women’s suffrage movement. In the seven years leading up to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, an impassioned group of suffragists—“Suffs” as they called themselves—took to the streets, pioneering protest tactics that transformed the country. They risked their lives as they clashed with the president, the public, and each other. A thrilling story of brilliant, flawed women working against and across generational, racial, and class divides, Suffs boldly explores the victories and failures of a fight for equality that is still far from over.
