Explore "Woman in Politics" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What, madam, run for School Director? You? / And want my vote and influence? Well, well, / That beats me! Gad! where "are" we drifting to? / In all my life I never have heard tell / Of such sublime presumption, and I smell / A nigger in the fence! Excuse me, madam; / We statesmen sometimes speak like the old Adam.
But now you mention it -- well, well, who knows? / We might, that's certain, give the sex a show.
