"Equality," they shouted.
"Stand up and be counted!"
Suffragettes cried and died
For the cause.
Next came -- "Bras are for burning!"
But the worm kept 'U'-turning.
Brain-washed by adverts, 'soaps'
And second cars.
Today 'power dressed' and earning,
Out-shining, we're learning.
Equality can lead to a seat on the Board.
