There is power in a comma

Found in A collection of odd thoughts: the very best of verse from Ron Todd, former general secretary of the TGWU and appealing to the library manager and the librarian (both female and both punctuation pedants) here at WCML

“A woman without her man is nothing”
A chavinistic line set down by men
A woman, without her, man is nothing
A punctuated line by a female pen
