Suffrage Songs and Verses - Charlotte Perkins Gilman - Bog

In Republic, Plato argues poets should be banned from the ideal society for their interest in illusion, in things other than the truth. In Suffrage Songs and Verses, Charlotte Perkins Gilman proves that poets are a danger to government-not because they speak of illusions, but because they threaten the illusion by which the few hold power over the many.
