Who Represents Her?
IF a woman is responsible for an accident; if she defaults on her contracts, if she slanders her neighbors, is any man arrested, sued, bound over to keep the peace?
!F a woman steals from her employer, does her father, husband, brother or son' serve out her term in prison?
IF a woman kills somebody, what man represents her in the prisoner's dock during her trial? What man represents her in the electric chair if she is convicted?
IF a widow or an unmarried woman fails to pay her taxes, is the property of a male relative or of the man next door sold to satisfy the debt to the State?
IF a woman forges a check, does her father, her husband, her employer, go to jail for felony?
WHY is it that the only place in the world where man wants to represent woman is at the ballot box?
