Description
Alt text: The front of a postcard contains a black-and-white printed poem titled "Woman." The text reads, "She's an angel in truth, a demon in fiction, a woman's the greatest of all contradiction. She's afraid of a cockroach, she'll scream at a mouse. But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house. She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse, she'll split his head open then be his nurse. And when he is well and can get out of bed, she'll pick up a teapot and throw at his head. She's faithful, deceitful, keen sighted, and blind. She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel, she's kind. She'll lift a man up, she'll cast a man down. She'll make him her hero, her ruler, her clown. You fancy she's this and you find she' that. For she'll play like a kitten and fight like a cat. In the morning she will, in the evening she won't, and you're always expecting she will but she won't." The bottom of the card indicates "Grayling, Michigan." A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
