À propos de cet e-book
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Collected Works' presents a comprehensive anthology of her writings, showcasing her influential contributions to feminist thought and social reform at the turn of the 20th century. This collection includes her seminal short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper," along with essays, poems, and critiques that deftly explore themes of gender, identity, and mental health within a society marked by patriarchal restraints. Gilman's literary style—marked by a sharp, poignant prose intermixed with rich symbolism—encapsulates the struggles of women seeking autonomy and self-identity in a rapidly changing world. Born in 1860 and a prolific writer, Gilman was a prominent advocate for women's rights, drawing upon her own experiences with mental illness and confinement to craft narratives that resonate with emotional depth and societal critique. Her personal history, including a challenging marriage and eventual separation, fueled her dedication to addressing the economic and psychological oppression of women. Gilman's own life experiences imbued her writings with authenticity, allowing her to candidly explore the conflicts between societal expectations and individual freedom. 'The Collected Works' is an essential read for anyone interested in women's studies, American literature, or the historical context of feminism. It offers invaluable insights into early feminist thought and remains profoundly relevant today, inviting readers to reflect on the ongoing struggles for gender equality. Delve into this rich collection to understand the legacy of one of America's most pioneering voices.
À propos de l'auteur
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935) was an eminent American writer, feminist, and social reformer, whose literary contributions have been extensively influential in both literature and sociology. Gilman is perhaps best known for her short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper' (1892), which has become a seminal piece in feminist literature, exploring themes of mental health and the oppressive effects of the patriarchal society on women. Her body of work includes poetry, novels, and non-fiction, with a particular focus on gender equality, economics, and social reform, all grounded in her belief in the progressive evolution of human society. 'Women and Economics' (1898) remains a foundational feminist text, advocating for economic independence for women. Through her famous work, 'The Collected Works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman', readers encounter a broad spectrum of her intellectual contributions. Gilman's literary style is characterized by its clear prose, incisive social critique, and often utopian visionary ideas, aimed at the liberation and empowerment of women. Her influence extended beyond her literature into her lectures and activist work, solidifying her as a pioneering figure in the early feminist movement. Gilman's life and works continue to be studied and celebrated for their bold engagement with issues of gender equality and their impact on subsequent generations of writers and scholars.
