Certainly, Nesbit allows her female characters freedom in the magic city that they would probably not be able to enjoy in their 'real' lives and 'The Magic City', in this respect is a utopian novel.

Madelyn Travis, “Building a New World: Gender and Modernism in E. Nesbit’s The Magic City”

This is an interesting point made by Travis. The idea of a utopian novel is that the author is creating an “ideal society.” Travis is essentially saying that Nesbit used “The Magic City” to support an ideal society of women being free. 

Travis also draws attention to the fact that “Predenderette” and suffragette are very similar words. Perhaps showing that Nesbit was mocking the women’s suffrage movement. It is interesting how it seems that Nesbit is both supporting and tearing down the women’s movement. Maybe she disagreed with certain aspects but agreed with the overall message?

This photo was taken in the county courthouse on June 27, 1920. The Mobile women in the image were registering to vote for the first time. About two thousand showed up that first registration day.

Women Suffrage

Women Suffrage has been an issue for over 150 years. Women have not only struggled with being misrepresented, mistreated, harmed, and overall - unable to have rights to their own lives and bodies. The Night Of Terror has been one of the most horrific cases in History based upon women suffrage. However, these women have fought for where we are today, and it's our turn as women, to keep pushing to end women suffrage.
