Interesting take on the power struggle between men and women. -- E Archer, NYC

Very catchy quote. Hey, she got her image onto a dollar. -- David L Rosenthal
At the end of the 19th century, the statement was very true. Women had no rights. Men had all the rights.

Five stars in 1900, one star in 2000. -- Jack, Green, OH
"woman is the day and night of man" -- JOHN SAMUEL, TRIVANDRUM
