Description: While attending what she believes to be a Mothers Meeting Mrs Puckle finds herself having an unexpected reaction to what she hears. A joyful, entertaining monologue, the piece uses a working class character to expose the inconsistencies in the anti-suffrage arguments. Interesting because it paints a picture of Mrs Puckle's home life and family; it is also a monologue directly spoken to the audience that allows for interaction between audience and performer. 'The Mother's Meeting' was published by the Actresses' Franchise League (AFL) in 1913.
