At the end of Act 1, Peter finds himself grappling with the consequences of decisions made during the events leading up to that point.

In the early 1900s, many women began to enter professions that were previously dominated by men, reflecting broader social changes. Notable occupations that gained popularity included teaching, nursing, and clerical work, as these roles were seen as suitable for women and offered some degree of independence. Additionally, the rise of the suffrage movement and increased access to education contributed to women's participation in fields like social work and journalism. These shifts marked a significant transformation in the workforce and women's societal roles during that era.

Sojourner Truth's 1871 speech highlighted the intersection of race and gender, emphasizing the struggles of Black women and the need for equality in both civil rights and women’s suffrage. Her call for inclusivity and recognition of the unique challenges faced by women of color resonated with the Women’s Suffrage Movement of the early 1900s, which often marginalized these voices. As suffragists fought for the right to vote, Truth's advocacy underscored the importance of addressing both race and gender to achieve true equality. Thus, her legacy influenced the ongoing dialogue about diversity and representation within the movement.

In the early 1900s, the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's work on inheritance was bolstered by the identification of chromosomes as carriers of genetic information. Scientists like Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri proposed the chromosomal theory of inheritance, which linked Mendel's principles of heredity to the behavior of chromosomes during cell division. This provided a molecular basis for Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment, validating his ideas about how traits are passed from one generation to the next.
