Summary:

A superb collection of fiction and poetry from a major feminist voice
in American literature Wonderfully sardonic and slyly humorous, the
writings of landmark American feminist and socialist thinker
Charlotte Perkins Gilman were penned in response to her frustration
with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in America as
the twentieth century began. Perhaps best known for her chilling
depiction of a woman's mental breakdown in her unforgettable 1892
short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper," Gilman also wrote Herland, a
cunning, wry novel that imagines a peaceful, progressive,
environmentally conscious country from which men have been absent for
two thousand years. Both are included in this volume, along with a
selection of Gilman's major short stories and her poems.
