Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) was an American poet who was an advocate of vegetarianism and animal rights (as well as a believer in reincarnation). One of her best known poems is Protest in which she writes: “To sin by silence, when we should protest, / Makes cowards out of men” which appears on this tea towel. Words we would do well to remember when we witness injustice. She is also the author of the words "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; / Weep, and you weep alone", the beginning her 1883 poem "Solitude" which she wrote after comforting a disconsolate woman in black on a train on the way to a party.

Half Panama unbleached organic cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40 degrees centigrade max. We recommend that before you use your tea towel for the first time you wash it at least once to soften up the material and make it more absorbent for drying dishes. Please note size can vary slightly.
