In early 2020, I was searching for a poem to use as a prompt for an SATB composition competition that celebrated the centennial of America’s Women’s Voting rights brought about by the 19th Amendment. Excited about writing something to commemorate such a great achievement, I found Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s poem titled “Coming”. Addressing the roles of women in society and the need for equality for the sake of all, this poem was exactly the inspiration I needed to honor the 100th year anniversary of this momentous occasion.
