I can't use 'Plain Jane' or 'Snowballs' chance in hell'. Plain Jane is from 1910, and Snowball's is from 1931. Real bummer too, since those are the sorts of expressions you can just imagine Grisham using.

There was an essay I came across a few weeks back called Women and Power in Alta California.

Women in the west in general had more freedom than their counterparts in more 'civilized' areas.
