Men think they are pulling a cruel joke, unwittingly advance women's rights.

In a small Kansas town, 130 years ago, some of the local men think they are playing a mean practical joke on a woman named Susanna Salter and nominate her in the mayoralty race.

She ruins their plans by garnering 60% of the vote.

Don't you love blowback? It usually ends up ruining the very people that desperately need it.
