"'And I'll not sacrifice my comfort and freedom to the extent of wearing a dress' Miss Hulick retorted as she clicked out of the Halls of Justice in her
blue flannel slacks."

Becca's Inspiration for this piece
I was thinking about how epic Helen's story was--but this was the first time I was hearing it! It tickled me to think of a kindergarten teacher having her own Sea Shanty-esque song. Unfortunately, the world hasn't written many for women like her. I wanted give her a song that tells the story of her days in court, setting a precedent that women's testimonies should be heard no matter what they're wearing.
