Wives on Strike

by Lillian Sutton Pelée

The "Wives' Welfare Club" is meeting together so they may air grievances about their husbands and the inequality that women experience. During this meeting the wives decide to "go on Strike" and nominate Jane Spink to be the test case. Betty, who is a newlywed of only 30 days, boasts of her husband's perfect qualities and is amused at the other wives' complaints. However, as she returns home she realizes she just might end up on strike as well!
