Within the pages of Stanislaus Lynch’s *Echoes of the Hunting Horn*, there is an unexpected divergence from equine matters into a defense of women’s political careers. Lynch’s argument is cloaked in insults and isn’t very progressive considering this work is from New York in 1947, yet it’s still an interesting tangent in a book primarily about hunting. This blurb follows Lynch’s write up about the Dublin Horse Show which features female riders and judges: “If the parliaments of the world were run half so well as the average household, life might be different for many. If the voice of woman, of the mother, was heard a little more often in the government of nations, it might bring some stability to a crazy world. Men have had the handling of world affairs entirely to themselves and have succeeded in making a pretty bungle of their work, and personally, I would rather listen to a cosmetic-plastered face talking bread-and-butter common sense than to a clean-shaven, bemedalled-chested, bungling war-lord talking patriotic piffle” (Lynch, 151).
