關於本電子書
From her semi-autobiographical ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, written after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis, to her utopian feminist novel ‘Moving the Mountain’, ‘Selected Charlotte Perkins Gilman’ is the perfect companion for history buffs looking to delve into the early beginnings of feminist theory.
Ideal for fans of Helena Bonham Carter and Carey Mulligan in Netflix’s acclaimed ‘Suffragette’ film.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was an American humanist, writer, and advocate for social reform. She is considered today a utopian feminist and served as a role model for later feminists with her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle.
Her works are celebrated for offering new perspectives on gender issues and include the semi-autobiographical short story ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, ‘Women and Economics’, and ‘Forerunner’. She was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame and remains today a huge influence on feminist thinking of the early 20th century.
