Abstract

Several women meet to "chat" about women's rights. Suddenly, "the spinster McIntosh" rushes into the meeting carrying a copy of Dr. Cole's column about the inferiority of women. In a fury, the women storm the doctor's house and drown him in a bathtub. The doctor wakes up to discover he was having a nightmare.
