Explore "What Diantha Did" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Men have marched in armies, fleets have borne them, / Left their homes new countries to subdue; / Young men seeking fortune wide have wandered -- / We have something new.
Armies of young maidens cross our oceans; / Leave their mother's love, their father's care; / Maidens, young and helpless, widely wander, / Burdens new to bear.
