Forgotten for decades, Gilman is now making a comeback both for her famous story The Yellow Wallpaper (1903) and her history-making non-fiction, which foreshadowed the feminist concerns of the 60s and 70s. nKnown primarily for her classic and haunting story The Yellow Wallpaper, Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an enormously influential American feminist and sociologist. Her early-twentieth-century writings continue to inspire writers and activists today. This collection includes selections from both her fiction and nonfiction work. nIn addition to the title story, there are seven short stories collected here that combine humor, anger, and startling vision to suggest how womens place in society should be changed to benefit all. The nonfiction selections are from Gilmans The Man-Made World: Our Androcentric Culture and her masterpiece, Women And Economics, which was translated into seven languages and established her international reputation as a theorist. n nAlso included in a delightful excerpt from Gilmans utopian novel, Herland, an acidly funny tale about three American male explorers who stumble into an all-female society and begin their odyssey by insisting, This is a civilized country . . . there must be men. Gilmans analyses of economic and womens issues are as incisive and relevant today as they were upon their original publication. This volume is an unprecedented opportunity to rediscover a powerful American writer.n
