"Protest" is a poem written by American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox. It was originally published in 1914 in her collection Poems of Problems. "Protest" is composed of two stanzas, and it serves as an interrogation of American society in the early twentieth century. Wheeler criticizes the notion that the United States is truly a free land, exploring themes like free speech and equality to highlight hypocrisy in the American way of life.
