| Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936). Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. 1912–22. | | | | A Girl Strike-leader | | By Florence Kiper Frank |
| | | A WHITE-FACED, stubborn little thing | |
| Whose years are not quite twenty years; | |
| Eyes steely now and done with tears, | |
| Mouth scornful of its suffering— | |
| |
| The young mouth!—body virginal | 5 |
| Beneath the cheap, ill-fitting suit; | |
| A bearing quaintly resolute; | |
| A flowering hat, satirical. | |
| |
| A soul that steps to the sound of the fife | |
| And banners waving red to war; | 10 |
| Mystical, knowing scarce wherefore— | |
| A Joan in a modern strife. | | | | |
