Suffrage Songs and Verses

Elektronická kniha Suffrage Songs and Verses:Suffrage Songs and Verses, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is a collection of 25 poems which advocates the suffragette movement and womens rights. Published in 1911, the poetry anthology includes both famous and lesser-known works such as Women of To-day, Boys Will Be Boys and The Socialist and the Suffragist, and is a clear inspiration for modern feminist writers and pro-womens rights campaigners. Now seen as a classic selection of American female poetry and inspirational literature, this forward-thinking anthology examines the role of women in a pre-WW1 patriarchal society – and was one of many works to inspire the 2015 British historical drama film Suffragette which starred Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne-Marie Duff. A selection of Perkins work featured in this book were originally published in the book In this our World in 1898. Charlotte Perkins Gilmans best known work was her autobiographical-inspired short story The Yellow Wallpaper, written about her experience of severe postnatal depression, which was made into a 2011 gothic thriller film by Logan Thomas. -
