Irish Women's Lib




At the 1999 World Women's Conference the first speaker from England stood up:

"At last years' conference we spoke about being more assertive with our
husbands. Well after the conference I went home and told my husband that I
would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself. After
the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after
the third day I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb."

The crowd cheered.

The second speaker from America stood up:

"After last years' conference I went home and told my husband that I would no
longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After the
first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the
third day I saw that he had done not only his own washing but my washing as
well."

The crowd cheered.

The third speaker from Ireland stood up:

"After last years' conference I went home and told my husband that I would no
longer do his shopping and that he would have to do everything himself.
After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But 
after the third day I could see a little bit out of my left eye."
