Are you women going to be silenced as the women of other countries and find yourselves and your children in concentration camps or submitting to the will of one man, or are you going to have the courage which must be now or never to come out and fight for all the woman holds dear?[8] In 1946, a union strike caused the lack of breakfast at a Women's Breakfast Club meeting, and Lineman, president of the club, led members in opposition: We go on record as demanding that the right of free enterprise be restored in this country; that men and women can work without being forced to belong to a union; that when there is a strike nonunion men and women may work without detriment to themselves or their employers, and that the government enforce such rights to the end that the great majority of unorganized citizens may live normal lives as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.[9] In 1948 she was on the Women's Division essay contest jury for the activities organized by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in connection with the Freedom Train.
