Perspective of Charlotte Perkins Gilman (Author)

The author's perspective was to let women know that they have to be strong in order to get what they want. She also built upon the idea that women were seen as the purifiers and if they were allowed into politics a very foul game they would purify it.

"We are going to “purify politics,”

And to “elevate the press.”

We enter the foul paths of the world

To sweeten and cleanse and bless."

"But to elevate public opinion,
And to lift up erring man,
Is the work of the Human Being;
Let us do it–if we can."

"The world needs strength and courage,
And wisdom to help and feed–
When, “We, as women” bring these to man,
We shall lift the world indeed"
Gilman is saying that when women stand up to men and make it known that they can offer just as much in terms of strength courage and wisdom, that is when things will change.

"We, that were born of one mother,
And reared in the self-same place,
In the school and the church together,
We of one blood, one race!"
- Here she emphasizes unity and joining together as one race.

This poem was written in the modern period during the women's suffrage movement. Eventually, women gained the right to vote with the 19th amendment that was ratified in 1920. Women's rights had been a very hot topic ever since the passage of the 15th amendment in the 1870s that granted voting rights on the basis of race. Carrie Chapman Catt was a lead suffragist in the movement and many different societies and associations were built to lead this movement.
