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 wallpaperWhen I was a witchIf I were a manThe girl in the pink hatThe cottagetteThe unnatural motherMaking a changeAn honest womanTurnedThe widow's mightMr. Peebles' heartThe cruxWhat Diantha didBenigna MachiavelliUnpunishedMoving the mountainHerlandWith her in Ourland.
