Does the Poem Have Feministic Overtones?

Question

Does the poem have feministic overtones?

Short/Brief Note

Solution

Yes, the poem give ample scope for feministic explanation. As in the final stanza the vital role assigned to women is explained with a tinge of irony.

Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest,
And cradled fair sons on her faithful breast,
And serves her household in fruitful pride,
And worships the gods at her husband’s side
