States that had granted women partial voting rights used separate ballot boxes for men and women voters. These boxes were placed out in the open to prevent women from secretly casting ballots for offices for which they were restricted from voting. In my piece, “The Voting Booth,” I use a photobooth as a voting booth, equating the private spaces of each as a place to make one’s self heard.
