Before WW1

Before WW1

     The only thing a woman had a right to was her own land When she got married she lost that right The wife and children were owned by the husband The husband was aloud to beat the wife and lock her up If the husband died the wife would be left with nothing if he didn’t leave a will

Poetry Of Women’s Suffrage

By: Charlotte Perkins Gilman

  

FOR FEAR

For fear of prowling beasts at night They blocked the cave; Women and children hid from sight, Men scarce more brave. For fear of warrior's sword and spear They barred the gate; Women and children lived in fear, Men lived in hate. For fear of criminals today We lock the door; Women and children still to stay Hid evermore.    Come out! The world approaches peace, War nears its end; No warrior watches your release – Only a friend. Come out! The night of crime has fled – Day is begun; Here is no criminal to dread – Only your son. The world, half yours, demands your care, Waken and come! Make it a woman's world; safe, fair, Garden and home.

THE HOUSEWIFE

Here is the House to hold me –cradle of all the race; Here is my lord and my love, here are my children dear tight; – Here is the House enclosing, the dear loved dwelling place; Why should I ever weary for aught that I find not here? Here for the hours of the day and the hours of the night; Bound with the bands of Duty, rivetted Duty older than Adam –Duty that saw Acceptance utter and hopeless in the eyes of the serving squaw. Food and the serving of food –that is my daylong care; What and when we shall eat, what and how we shall wear;    Soiling and cleaning of things –that is my task in the main them – Soil them and clean them and soil –soil them and clean them again. To work at my trade by the dozen and never a trade to know; To plan like a Chinese puzzle –fitting and changing so; To think of a thousand details, each in a thousand ways; For my own immediate people and a possible love and praise. My mind is trodden in circles, tiresome, narrow and hard, Useful, commonplace, private –simply a small backyard; And I the Mother of Nations!

–Blind their struggle and vain!

I cover the earth with my children – each with a housewife's brain.
