GUEST,Ferrara Origins: We Don't Need the Men (Malvina Reynolds) (11) RE: Lyr Req: 'we don't need the men' 19 Jan 01

I believe that Malvina wrote this with the wives of a group of union members who had an organizational meeting (regarding a strike?) and didn't include their wives. Men only. As I hear it, she had the enthusiastic cooperation and suggestions of the women in the group, who were waiting for the men to finish their meeting.

... Could be "fakelore," of course....
