A great wonder to have if you planned to win by conquest.

@Alathaea That fits. Thanks for the info!
(And sorry for using "vacate" and "scarcity" in YouTube comments. That's just plain pretentious.)

@Kizor Well, in the UK it was the second world war in particular that cemented women's rights to employment on equal terms with men. We gave women the right to vote completely equally in 1928 (though there was limited suffrage up until then) but it was the Second World War that saw women working as firefighters, policewomen, in the air force, etc. After that society could hardly call women incapable =p

I like this wonder, and I liked building, I felt it made my civ really progressive. God bless the women who fought for their right to vote.

Woman should'ent be voting they should be in the kitchen

This makes a strange kind of sense. Again, police stations in Civ 2 decrease the unrest caused by military deployment. Modern world wars create and vacate a great many jobs in traditionally male fields, while simultaneously causing a scarcity of able-bodied men. Those jobs are going to be done by women, and if the pre-war society had strong gender division, those women are going to Get Ideas.
But this is speculation. I don't actually know what WWI did for the womens' vote.

suddenly POLICE STATIONS! EVERYWHERE!
Hoogstaaf: female police keeping the peace on the streets?
also: this is made funnay with todays option(2011-04-01)!



I find it funny that, in the game, an act that empowers women is counted as "A police station in each of your cities". Sid Meier must be married. :)

No, a police station in Civ 2 decreases unhappiness caused by units away from cities.
So if people are allowed to vote they won't be as upset when their families are split up to go to war.
