Explore "To Labor" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Shall you complain who feed the world? / Who clothe the world? / Who house the world? / Shall you complain who are the world, / Of what the world may do? / As from this hour / You use your power, / The world must follow you!
The world's life hangs on your right hand! / Your strong right hand! / Your skilled right hand! / You hold the whole world in your hand. / See to it what you do! / Or dark or light, / Or wrong or right, / The world is made by you!
Then rise as you never rose before! / Nor hoped before! / Nor dared before! / And show as was never shown before, / The power that lies in you! / Stand all as one! / See justice done! / Believe, and Dare, and Do!
