Subject: RE: Lyr Req: men of '98, men of Easter week
What a male world it sounds. It brings me back to my great-aunts, who didn't, honestly, think much of the state that had been snatched from the jaws of their fight. These were strong women who had fought for the Republic, and lived to see a state that would take away their right to work after marriage; a state that would take all power from those who had fought for it, and give it to the smooth, anodyne plámásers who would work with the bishops and the civil servants and forget the people.
