Charlotte Perkins Gilman

3 Ju–17 A

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, also known as Charlotte Perkins Stetson, was a prominent American sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story, ***The Yellow Wallpaper***, which she wrote after a severe bout of post-partum depression. She was the daughter of <a href="https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL352823A" target="_blank">Frederic B. Perkins</a>.
