Fish without a bicycle

The famous and excellent expression, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle" is most often attributed to American feminist Gloria Steinem, but she denied this in a letter to TIME magazine. Steinem (correctly, I believe) attributes it to Sydney activist and politician, Irina Dunn, inter alia, a great supporter of the framed 'Sydney Hilton bombers'. More at http://john-s-allen.com/humor/herstory.htm. Irina Dunn, an early and steadfast opponent of the notorious Sydney Hilton bombing frame-up, may be seen at 1:35 at 'Framed' by Roaring Jack band frontman Alistair Hulett (b. 1951; d. January 28, 2010), at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmv-1DEDkB8
