While listening to the podcast, I noticed that the narrator paused before saying certain phrases. For example, he paused before saying "but no women” when he first introduced the idea that women did not have the right to vote. These pauses provided cues for important ideas and emphasized meaning. Because of this, I was able to better understand the important facts about women’s fight for equality during this time.
