description: 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 wallpaper When I was a witch If I were a man The girl in the pink hat The cottagette The unnatural mother Making a change An honest woman Turned The widow's might Mr. Peebles' heart The crux What Diantha did Benigna Machiavelli Unpunished Moving the mountain HerlandWith her in Ourland.
