What more promising method for remedying this defect than by uniting American women of every state and every section in a common effort for our whole country.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Castro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.”

“Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?”
