The succeeding generations she longed to reach have yet to summon the wits and resilience to follow where she led." Publisher's noteForgotten for decades, Gilman is now making a comeback both for her famous story The Yellow Wallpaper (1903) and her history-making non-fiction, which foreshadowed the feminist concerns of the '60s and '70s. Known primarily for her classic and haunting story "The Yellow Wallpaper," Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an enormously influential American feminist and sociologist. Her early-twentieth-century writings continue to inspire writers and activists today. This collection includes selections from both her fiction and nonfiction work. In addition to the title story, there are seven short stories collected here that combine humor, anger, and startling vision to suggest how womens "place" in society should be changed to benefit all. The nonfiction selections are from Gilmans The Man-Made World: Our Androcentric Culture and her masterpiece, Women And Economics, which was translated into seven languages and established her international reputation as a theorist. Also included in a delightful excerpt from Gilmans utopian novel, Herland, an acidly funny tale about three American male explorers who stumble into an all-female society and begin their odyssey by insisting, "This is a civilized country . . . there must be men." Gilmans analyses of economic and women's issues are as incisive and relevant today as they were upon their original publication. This volume is an unprecedented opportunity to rediscover a powerful American writer. If You Enjoy "The Yellow Wall-Paper and Other Writings (Paperback)", May We Also Recommend:
