Great American Bitch

~ MaryG

Of course I watched Suffs on public television (PBS’ “Great Performances”) last night. I’ve had it on my calendar for months, and I saw about 25 ads for it on social media yesterday, and a friend called to remind me about it.

Created by Tony Award winner Shaina Taub, this musical recorded from Broadway tells the story of the American suffragist movement and the remarkable friendships, heartbreak, and action that brought women together—or, in some cases, tore them apart.

It’s going to air again tonight at 8pm on PBS. Watch it or record it, if you can.

I will never again call them Suffragettes. They were suffragists.

Hopefully all the Tradwife influencers will decide to take a break from serving their husbands and tune in.

Watch my favorite number from Act I here: Great American Bitch

UPDATE: SUFFS is now available to watch on YouTube.

  4. Most of the vocal trad-wives aren’t really. They’re making money on tiktok and youtube and probably other ways. The image itself is a work-a-day job and their husbands are probably just glad they’re occupied. lol sorry.

    1. I think you were the first person to introduce me to the term! I did read that the biggest one (Ballerina Farm) has NINE kids…sheesh…that’s honestly crazy. I’m not even gonna peak at her stuff.

      1. When I was 20, I went from not wanting children at all, to wanting that kind of life. THEN I went to visit a family I’d met through AOL chat groups. Fair to say it was a dramatic course correction! 🙂
