Charlotte Perkins Gilman

(America’s most brilliant woman poet and critic; born 1860)

NO fledgling feeds the father bird!

No chicken feeds the hen!

No kitten mouses for the cat—

This glory is for men:

We are the Wisest, Strongest Race—

Loud may our praise be sung!

The only animal alive

That lives upon its young!
