The Charlotte Perkins Gilman Reader

THE CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN READER is an anthology of fiction by one of America's most important feminist writers. Probably best known as the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper," in which a woman is driven mad by chauvinist psychiatry, Gilman wrote numerous other short stories and novels reflecting her radical socialist and feminist view of turn-of-the-century America. Collected here by noted Gilman scholar Ann J. Lane are eighteen stories and fragments, including a selection from Herland, Gilman's feminist Utopia. The resulting anthology provides a provocative blueprint to Gilman's intellectual and creative production.Content: The yellow wallpaper When I was a witch If I were a man The girl in the pink hat The cottagette The unnatural mother Making a change An honest woman Turned The widow's might Mr. Peebles' heart The crux What Diantha did Benigna Machiavelli Unpunished Moving the mountain HerlandWith her in Ourland.
