German Americans debate women's day in a saloon tale
In a saloon with sawdust and evergreens a German American party jokes about women's advancement. Carl Becker tells how a village ritual makes men obey women for a day, recounting his chaotic attempt at family life and his plan to flee to America to avoid future subservience. The men mock the idea of women voting, preferring to let the women lead domestic duties.
