Gilman achieved international fame as a feminist-socialist theorist with the publication of Women and Economics: The Economic Factor between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution in 1898. The book was translated into seven languages and is still in print today (the latest edition was published in 1975). She was a major critic of society who sought to create a cohesive, systematic body of thought that combined socialism (she was ideologically close to the English Fabians) and feminism (she described herself as a humanist, not a feminist, asserting that the world was masculinist and that she wished to redress the balance). In her vast body of work, which included book-length studies in history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and ethics, as well as novels, poetry, and short stories, Gilman tried to define a humane social order built upon what she called female values—life giving and nurturing. She constructed a worldview to explain human behavior, past and present, and to project her visions for the future. In her sociological and historical works she analyzed the past from the perspective of gender; in her fiction she illustrated the human drama embodied in contemporary social relations; and in her utopian works she suggested the kind of world we could have if we were persuaded to remake it. The place to begin, she argued, was in the ideological sphere; thus she saw herself as engaged in a struggle for the minds of women.

    Extractions: Considered the leading intellectual in the woman's movement from the 1890s to 1920, Charlotte Perkins Gilman was widely known both in the United States and abroad for her incisive studies of woman's role and status in society. By the time of her death in 1935, all of her books were out of print, and in the intervening decades her ideas were largely forgotten. Since the 1970s her writings have been rediscovered—both the sociological analyses that made her popular in her own time, and her less widely known fiction, especially her short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper," regarded today as a classic of nineteenth-century literature. Establishing herself in California, Gilman began to write and lecture on suffrage and woman's rights, and on the social reforms advocated by the Nationalist clubs inspired by Edward Bellamy's Utopian novel Looking Backward (1888). In 1892 she published "The Yellow Wall-Paper." Based on her experience with Dr. Mitchell, it is an indictment of nineteenth-century medical attitudes toward women as well as a subtle analysis of the power politics of marriage.

    Extractions: "Women are human beings as much as men, by nature; and as women, are even more sympathetic with human processes. To develop human life in its true powers we need fully equal citizenship for women." Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent social activist and leading theorist of the women's movement at the turn of the twentieth century. She examined the role of women in society and put forth her social theories in Women and Economics and other nonfiction books, while she developed her feminist ideals in her novels and short stories. Gilman is best known today for her short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," in which she portrayed a young woman's mental breakdown based on her own experience. Believing society could be changed for the better for women through the use of reason, she wrote books to advance her ideas. Uncle Tom's Cabin; Catherine Beecher, the prominent advocate of "domestic feminism"; and Isabella Beecher Hooker, an ardent suffragist (supporter of women's right to vote). But Gilman's primary childhood experience was a series of frequent moves to try to reduce the family's poverty. Women in Economics

    Extractions: Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Charlotte Perkins was born July 3, 1860, in Hartford, Connecticut, to Frederick Beecher Perkins and Mary Fitch Perkins. In 1869 her father deserted the family, and she and her mother went to live with his relatives. She received very little schooling but was profoundly affected by the views of her family. Influenced by the determination and self-reliance of her great aunts Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin , Catherine Beecher, and Isabella Beecher Hooker, as well as her mother, Perkins developed her views on "feminist convictions" and the desire to see social reform, as noted in "Charlotte Perkins Gilman." At an very early age she learned to be independent and worked as a teacher to support herself. In 1878 she attended the Rhode Island School of Design and became a commercial artist. In 1884 she married Charles Walter Stetson ,who was also a artist, and they gave birth to a daughter a year later. After the birth of her daughter, Perkins suffered from depression that would haunt her the rest of her life. After divorcing Stetson in 1890, she married George Houghton Gilman in 1900. Perkins was an American feminist and social activist, as well as a writer. She decided to move to Pasadena, California, in 1888, where she wrote her most famous short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper." From 1894 to 1895 she was active in planning the California Women's Congresses, as well as founding the Women's Peace Party. She was known as a feminist writer who expressed her views and beliefs in her novels, short stories, and nonfiction works. Most of her writings were based on her own experiences that she faced from divorce to depression. In 1898 she published her best known nonfiction work

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935): Her life and work as a social scientist and feminist. by Mary Beekman In order to understand Charlotte Perkins Gilman as writer and intellectual, we must first know something of her personal life. For, although Gilman tried to keep the two personae separate in her own lifetime, we inevitably see conflict in the reality of her experience. For example, in creating her autobiography The Living of Charlotte Perkins Gilman , Gilman painted a public image she felt women should emulate while the diaries she left behind reveal the frailties of common human existence (Hill, 1980, p. 6-7). (Biographical information compiled from: Kessler, Carol Farley (1995). Charlotte Perkins Gilman: Her progress toward Utopia with selected writings . Syracuse: Syracuse University Press. pages 14-40). Charlotte Perkins was born on July 3, 1860 to Frederick Beecher Perkins and Mary A. Fitch. It is with her parents that these dueling personae began to take shape as each was from a prominent Rhode Island family with conflicting worldviews. Frederick sprung from the Beecher family, one well known for its radicals including Isabella Beecher Hooker, a famous suffragist and Harriet Beecher Stowe, an abolitionist and the renowned author of

    Extractions: Shane Hamilton, Web Editor Gilman, Charlotte Perkins Feminist author, lecturer (1860-1935) Born to a cultured family whose New England heritage dated back several generations, Charlotte Perkins nonetheless grew up poor and rootless. Her father abandoned the family soon after her birth and provided little support, leaving her mother to drift in search of work and charity. As a young adult, Perkins supported herself as an artist and teacher. Married at 23, she found domestic life unbearable and suffered a serious nervous breakdown. She gradually recovered, though elements of mental illness lingered throughout her life. Perkins soon settled into an independent career as lecturer and author which continued well into her 60s, foreswearing traditional feminine roles in her own life while criticizing them in her writing. She committed suicide in 1935, following her second husband's death and her own diagnosis with breast cancer.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Charlotte Perkins was raised by her mother. Her father abandoned the family shortly after her birth (her father was the nephew of siblings Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry Ward Beecher). Gilman's mother moved her two children to her original home, Rhode Island, where she withheld physical expressions of love from them in an attempt to steel them against the future pain of broken relationships. Gilman worked as a governess, teacher, and greeting-card designer before reluctantly marrying Charles Stetson in 1884she had become increasingly aware that women did not receive equal rights, and she was concerned that as a new wife and mother she would have difficulty beginning a writing career. After the birth of her daughter, Gilman became depressed and was advised to seek bed rest and to limit her intellectual endeavors. This "cure" so frustrated Gilman that she nearly went mad, recovering by thrusting her energies into the American Woman Suffrage Association. Soon after, she composed "The Yellow Wall-paper" (1892), which was based on her experience with depression. When her marriage broke up, Gilman sent her daughter to live with her exhusband and his new wife, Gilman's former best friend. She married her first cousin, George Houghton Gilman, in 1900 and continued her writing career, producing books that advocated reform, including
