A Mean Trick Over Women’s Vote From 1918 Letter
A father narrates a pro suffrage tale in which smugglers and political ploys thwart a women’s movement. He recalls Hyde Park meetings, gatecrashed election, handbills selling cheap goods, and a staged sale used to drain members. He argues men used underhand means to break the movement, condemning their tactics while defending women’s capacity. He ends urging perseverance and noting the political cleverness of opponents. Your loving mother Anna Bentley.

A humorous monologue mixing observations on manners, pride, work, and wit. The verses skew toward irony about dress codes, honesty, justice, and money. It weaves brief vignettes, puns, and quips from social life, business, and titles, ending with casual wordplay about pay and luck.
