Panko or Votes for Women, also known as Panko, is a card game about the suffragist and anti-suffragist movement. It was a popular game during the suffragist movement in England,[1][2] sold by Peter Gurney, Ltd.[3][4] It was named after the British suffragette leader, Emmeline Pankhurst.[5] First mentioned in the newspaper Votes For Women on December 10, 1909,[1], it was stated as being available for purchase in the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) shops along with the game, Pank-a-Squith. pg. 170
Panko's cards contain illustrations of important politicians, drawn by E.T. Reed, a cartoonist of Punch magazine. [2] [3] [4] The cards characterize figures on both sides of the suffragist movement with colored cartoons. [5] For playing with anti-suffragists, the instructions mention, "If you begin by amusing them with 'Panko' you can convert them afterwards." [6] The game is played similarly to the game rummy. [7]
