Justice is portrayed in stone as a woman right? The image of Lady Justice and her scales and sword is a running theme through out Western Civilization. From the Egyptian Goddesses Maat and Isis to the Greek Goddesses Themis and her daughter Dike to the Roman goddess Iustitia (the source for the word Justice). A woman has been seen as the wielder of fair and impartial judgment.

Tradition says the voice of women wield power. Only fools ignore that.
