Exploring the role of poetry in society, Charlotte Perkins Gilman contends that poets pose a threat to governmental authority by challenging the established illusions that empower the elite. Unlike Plato's view of poets as purveyors of falsehoods, Gilman highlights their potential to expose truths and inspire change, positioning poetry as a powerful tool for social critique and empowerment. This work emphasizes the importance of artistic expression in the fight against oppressive systems.
