(since it is illegal) and makes money-or saves it
when tax fraud or evasion is involved -- for the
person who carries it out. The female subjects of
the study are as equally marginalized as their
male counterparts. However, the fact of their
gender disenfranchises them further from the

The West -" home on the range where the deer and
the antelope play; where seldom is heard a
discouraging word and the sky is not cloudy all
day. " The romantic idea of the land west of the
hundredth meridian has often inspired songs and
poetry, like this one, about idyllic conditions in
