Charlotte Perkins Gilman  

Definition

  • Charlotte Perkins Gilman, writer, artist, lecturer, and social reformer, was a figurehead of the social reform movement at the beginning of the 20th century and the well-known writer of important social tracts. She is today best known for her short story, “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1890), a vicious account of the gender politics in marriage, and the novel Herland (1915), which is concerned with a Utopian isolated society made up of Aryan women who reproduce via parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Gilman, Charlotte Perkins (1860-1935)]
