Explore "To the Young Wife" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Are you content, you pretty three-years' wife? / Are you content and satisfied to live / On what your loving husband loves to give, / And give to him your life?
Are you content with work,-to toil alone, / To clean things dirty and to soil things clean; / To be a kitchen-maid, be called a queen,- / Queen of a cook-stove throne?
