Where would you place punctuation in this sentence below?

A woman without her man is nothing.

I'm not the grammar czar but IMHO this doesn't need any other punctuation.

The sentence can say different things depending on where punctuation is placed.

A woman, without her man, is nothing.

This is one of the possible answers.

A woman, without her man, is nothing.

Without her man, a woman, is nothing.

A woman, is nothing, without her man.


How'd I do??

The order of the words shouldn't change.

It's alright how it is. But it depends on your emphasis of how you want it to said/read. Such as:
"A woman without her man, is nothing."
or
"A woman, without her man is nothing."
or
"A woman, without her man, is nothing."
or
"A woman without her man is, nothing."

But personally, I disagree with this statement. A woman does not need a man to define her, nor does a man need a woman to define him.
Again, it all depends on the emphasis I think.

The sentence is only an example to show its meaning can change just by where you place punctuation.

The two possible answers are the following:
1. A woman without her man, is nothing - This one says a woman need a man.
2. A woman, without her, man is nothing - This one says a man need a woman.
