Are Women People?

On Not Believing All You Hear

(“Women are angels, they are jewels, they are queens and princesses of our hearts.”—Anti-suffrage speech of Mr. Carter of Oklahoma.)

“Angel, or jewel, or princess, or queen,
Tell me immediately, where have you been?”

“I’ve been to ask all my slaves so devoted
Why they against my enfranchisement voted.”

“Angel and princess, that action was wrong.
Back to the kitchen, where angels belong.”
