She walketh veiled and sleeping
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman She walketh veiled and sleeping, For she knoweth not her power; She obeyeth but the pleading Of her heart, and the high leading Of her soul, unto this hour. Slow advancing, halting, creeping, Comes the Woman to the hour!— She walketh veiled and sleeping, For she knoweth not her power. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born on July 3, 1860, in Hartford, Connecticut. She is best known for her short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” but also published two poetry collections: Suffrage Songs and Verses (The Charlton Company, 1911) and In This Our World (McCombs & Vaughn, 1893). She died in 1935 in Pasadena, California.
