INTRODUCTION
Father, what is the legislature?
A representative body elected by the people of the state.
Are women people?
No, my son, criminals, lunatics and women are not people.
Do legislators legislate for nothing?
Oh, no; they are paid a salary.
By whom?
By the people.
Are women people?
Of course, my son, just as much as men are.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l7kptbaysvpkhyn5zc4wq6ti/bafkreidroxhzdf3wuozbedaglzeqf5yufanmg53imcuzsv2fhbry77vvfm@jpeg)

An American classic: 1928 Yiddish advertisement for kosher l'Pesach Maxwell House Coffee. This was four years before Maxwell perfected their Passover marketing with the now ubiquitous Maxwell House Haggadah.
