Список книг автора Charlotte Perkins GilmanCharlotte Perkins Gilman: The Yellow Wallpaper (English Edition)
"It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John and myself secure ancestral halls for the summer. A colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, I would say a haunted house, and reach the height of romantic felicity—but that would be asking too much of fate! Still I will proudly declare that there is something queer about it. Else, why should it be let so cheaply? And why have stood so long untenanted? John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage. John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures. John is a physician, and perhaps—(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind)—perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster."
"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is an important early work of American feminist literature. Gilmans story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband (John) has rented an old mansion for the summer. As a form of treatment for her «temporary nervous depression», the unnamed woman is forbidden from working. Charlotte Perkins Gilman used «The Yellow Wallpaper» to explore the role of women in America during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The story was first published in 1892.

With Her in Ourland
With Her in Ourland Charlotte Perkins Gilman – Sequel to Herland.Published serially in the author's monthly magazine, Forerunner, volume 7 (1916).Herland described an all-women utopia in a secluded high valley, where 3 adventurous young men visit by airplane. Eventually, 2 of the 3 are expelled, along with a young Herland woman who has married one of the men. With Her in Ourland continues as the husband and wife tour the world outside of Herland, interviewing people, taking notes and photographs, and discussing history, religions, war, child-rearing, the role of women, treatment of immigrants, women's suffrage, and more.

Women and Economics
Women and Economics Charlotte Perkins Gilman – Women and Economics. A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution is a book written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and published in 1898. It is considered by many to be her single greatest work, and as with much of Gilman's writing, the book touched a few dominant themes: the transformation of marriage, the family, and the home, with her central argument: the economic independence and specialization of women as essential to the improvement of marriage, motherhood, domestic industry, and racial improvement.Startling in its observations and radical in its conclusions, this classic of women's rights literature, this work-by pioneering American feminist CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN (1860-1935)-was a phenomenon when it was first published in 1898, and was eventually translated into in seven languages and reprinted around the world. From her characterization of women as virtual economic, social, and sexual slaves, dependent on men for everything from food to friendship to protection, to her call for women to free themselves from these shackles, Women and Economics electrified Victorian readers. It remains a foundational work of feminist theory, essential reading for anyone wishing to understand women's struggle for full and self-determined personhood .

Die gelbe Tapete
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) ist das zweite Kind von Mary A. Finch und Frederick B. Perkins, einem Neffen von Harriet Beecher Stowe, der Autorin von «Onkel Toms Hütte». Der Vater, Schriftsteller und Bibliothekar, verlässt die Familie bald. Die Mutter schlägt die Familie mit Gelegenheitsarbeiten durch. Gilman besucht die Kunstgewerbeschule, danach entwirft sie Grußpostkarten und arbeitet als Hauslehrerin. 1884 heiratet sie den Kunstmaler Charles Walter Stetson und bekommt von ihm 1885 eine Tochter. Nach der Geburt hat Charlotte Perkins Gilman tiefe Depressionen. Ein Spezialist in Philadelphia verordnet ihr eine Ruhekur, bei der jegliche geistige Anstrengung eingeschränkt und das Schreiben untersagt ist. Durch diese Kur fühlt sie sich so zerrüttet, dass sie ihre Familie verlässt und zu einer Freundin nach Pasadena in Kalifornien flieht. 1892 veröffentlicht sie mit «Die gelbe Tapete» ihre erste Kurzgeschichte, die auf den Erfahrungen aus der Zeit ihrer Nervenkrise basiert. Die Veröffentlichung führt zu heftigen Reaktionen. «Die gelbe Tapete» gilt bis heute als literarisches Meisterwerk. Nach Charlotte Perkins Gilman 1934 an Brustkrebs erkrankt war, nahm sie sich ein Jahr später, mittels einer Überdosis Chloroform, das Leben.
WOMEN & ECONOMICS
"Women and Economics" is a book written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and published in 1898. It is considered by many to be her single greatest work, and as with much of Gilman's writing, the book touched a few dominant themes: the transformation of marriage, the family, and the home, with her central argument: «the economic independence and specialization of women as essential to the improvement of marriage, motherhood, domestic industry, and racial improvement.» The 1890s were a period of intense political debate and economic challenges, with the Women's Movement seeking the vote and other reforms. Women were «entering the work force in swelling numbers, seeking new opportunities, and shaping new definitions of themselves.» It was near the end of this tumultuous decade that Gilman's very popular book emerged. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was a prominent American feminist, sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform.
