Links Criticism Bibliography Domestic Goddesses Home Best known for her short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper," Gilman was a woman who wrote thousands of works, from short journalism to book length discussions of the social realities of women's lives to poetry. Her book, Women and Economics was hailed as a major accomplishment and re-published in several languages; Vassar college even used it as a textbook for a short time. Gilman's major concern during her lifetime was feminism women's suffrage as well as women's economic independence. She also self-published a magazine titled, The Forerunner, for seven years; the magazine is an incredible collection of thought and ideas and an example of how driven she was. Gilman learned in 1932 that she had incurable breast cancer. As an advocate for the right-to-die, Gilman committed suicide on August 17, 1935 by taking an overdose of chloroform. She "chose chloroform over cancer" as her autobiography and suicide note stated. During her life, Gilman published a huge volume of work much of which is unavailable to the modern reader. However, much of her work is beginning to be recognized as important and re-published. (See the

BIOGRAPHY Mrs. Gilman was born Charlotte Anna Perkins on July 3, 1860, in Hartford. Her mother, Mary Fitch Westcott, had married a second cousin, the well-known librarian and bibliophile, Frederic Beecher Perkins, grandson of Lyman Beecher, nephew of Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Gilman herself and others attributed her lifelong talent for speakingand especially preachingwith ease and power to her Beecher heritage. Her brother, Thomas Adie, was 14 months older; there were two siblings who died in infancy. Charlotte Perkins' first published work was the poem, "One Girl of Many," which appeared in The Alpha, probably in 1880; The Woman's Journal also published some of her verse in the 1880s (see oversize volume 70). In Pasadena, recovering from the mental turmoil of her married life and thrown on her own resources, she began to write and speak professionally, earning enough to keep herself and Katharine. In 1890 alone she wrote 33 articles and 23 poems, and she spoke to women's clubs, Nationalist groups, and others.

Charlotte Perkins Gillman (1860-1935) Contributing Editor: Elaine Hedges Classroom Issues and Strategies Students respond well to "The Yellow Wall-Paper." They like the story and don't have serious difficulty understanding it, and they enjoy discussing the meanings of the wallpaper. They may, however, oversimplify the story, reading the ending either as the heroine's victory over her circumstances, or her defeat. Have students choose and defend one or the other of these positions for a classroom debate (with the aim of showing that there is no easy resolution). Students might also want to debate (attack or defend) the role of the husband in the story. Background information on medical treatment of women, and specifically white, middle-class women, in the nineteenth century, especially Dr. S. Weir Mitchell's "rest cure" (mentioned in the headnote) is useful. Naive students sometimes wonder why the woman in the story can't just leave; they need to understand the situation of white, middle-class married women in the nineteenth century: The censure against divorce, and their limited opportunities in the paid labor force. "Turned," like "The Yellow Wall-Paper," deals with the situation of women inside marriage, but it offers a wife who takes matters into her own hands and recreates her life. The two stories can thus be profitably compared and contrasted. Significant differences, of course, include the greater freedom (she is childless) and professional training (she can support herself) of the wife, Mrs. Marroner, in "Turned."

Charlotte Perkins Gilman 1860-1935 american writer and feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born, Charlotte Anna Perkins. She was born July 3, 1860, in Hartford, Connecticut. Her father Frederick Beecher Perkins, a magazine editor frequently left the family for long periods of time. Charlotte would often spend time with her greataunts, Catherine Beecher, advocate of "domestic feminism", Isabella Beecher Hooker, an ardent suffragist, who was a supporter of women's right to vote, and Harriet Beecher Stower, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin In 1884, at the age of 24, Gilman married Charles W. Stetson, a local artist. Soon after, the birth of her first child, Gilman suffered from a near nervous breakdown. This experience led her to move to California, get a divorce, and leave her daughter in the care of her ex-husband. In California, Gilman who was poor, turned to writing as a way of earning money. Gilman wrote poetry, and short stories, among them "The Yellow Wallpaper," which later became a feminist classic. Among her poetry, and fiction short stories, Gilman wrote many non-fiction stories. Her best known work is Women and Economics ,(1898) which argues that sexual and maternal roles of women have been over emphasized to the detriment of their social and economical potential, and that only economic independence could bring true freedom.

CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN (1860-1935) A s a prolific writer in the early 1900s often focusing on the "woman question," Charolotte Perkins Gilman influenced thousands of women through her witty and often provocative novels, studies, stories, poems and lectures. Grandniece of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Gilman grew up in a modest home in Providence, Rhode Island. A short time after she dropped out of college, Gilman married a local artist and gave birth to her first child. Soon after, she suffered from a near nervous breakdown. This experience led her to relocate to California, get a divorce, and leave her daughter in care of her ex-husband. These bold actions were practically unheard of during this time, particularly for women. In California, she was poor and turned to writing as a way of earning money. Her best known story, "The Yellow Wallpaper" is about a woman who suffers from a mental breakdown due to the birth of her child. Sounds familiar? After publishing a book of poetry, she joined the socialist Helen Campell in editing the Pacific Coast Woman's Press Association. Then she turned to lecturing: her name began to spread, and she became well known for her discussion on women's topics. With book Woman and Economics (1898), she emerged as a spokesperson on such topics as women's perspectives on work and family: she believed that men and women should share the responsibility of houseworka radical notion at the turn of the century. She also believed that women should be encouraged, from a very early age, to be independent and to work for themselves.
