Poems by Gilman Charlotte Anna Perkins
The Housewife
... Blind their struggle and vain! --I cover the earth with my children -- each with a housewife's brain ...
I Would Fain Die a Dry Death
... aring the murder, Amiable, meek, inert, --We do rise up and remonstrate Against the Packingtown dirt ...
More Females of the Species
... or of Humanity! Creation's direst curse!Before whoim men in thousands must tremble, shrink and fail ...
One Girl of Many
... orrow and sin and shameOver and over till the blackened nameSank out of sight without a hand to save ...
Queer People
... hoose for friends Your common sense appall,But the people people marry Are the queerest folks of all ...
Similar Cases
... all rose up in fury Against their boastful friend,For prehistoric patience Cometh quickly to an end ...
To The Indifferent Women
... and peaceWhen woman's life, in its rich power of loveIs joined with man's to care for all the world ...
To the Young Wife
... ifely bond That holds you, nor the mother's royal power, But selfish, slavish service hour by hour - ...
Whatever Is
... wStand up -- we simply have to go And choke each fiction old and dear Before the modest facts appear ...
