Explore "FEMALES (Charlotte Perkins Gilman)" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The female fox she is a fox; / The female whale a whale; / The female eagle holds her place / As representative of race / As truly as the male.
The mother hen doth scratch for her chicks, / And scratch for herself beside; / The mother cow doth nurse her calf, / Yet fares as well as her other half / In the pasture free and wide.
