It's a fair question. It does kind of suck that going back this far does limit your options, but I went over this with another potential member who wanted to play a woman and there are some options. If you wanted to be a criminal working in Saloon City, a leader in the suffragette/temperance movement member that is starting to grow and take steam in this time period, or even a journalist ala Nellie Bly or Ida Tarbell. You can be a woman with power and value to the Combination without necessarily having the vote.
