Miller, Alice Duer: Are Women People? (poetry). v1. 28 Dec 2021

A slim collection of satrical poems mocking common anti-feminist and anti-suffragist thought and arguments. Pointed and hilarious, like an early Dorothy Parker. [Many] poem[s are] accompanied by a quote of a recent legal decision or editorial that provides context for the piece.

Despite being more than 100 years old, the poems are witty and fresh. Some seem still relevant today, some are fascinating for their historical context.

(— adapted from Goodreads)

============
Alice Duer Miller (July 28, 1874 – August 22, 1942) was an American writer whose poetry actively influenced political opinion. Her feminist verses impacted on the women’s suffrage issue, while her verse-play The White Cliffs encouraged U.S. entry into World War II. She also wrote novels and screenplays. Her first book, The Modern Obstacle, was published 1903, but she scored her first major success with Come Out of the Kitchen in 1916. That story was made into a play and later the 1948 film Spring in Park Lane.
