A Penguin Vitae Edition

Wonderfully sardonic and slyly humorous, the writings of landmark American feminist and socialist thinker Charlotte Perkins Gilman were penned in response to her frustrations with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in America as the twentieth century beganPerhaps best known for her chilling depiction of a woman''s mental breakdown in her unforgettable 1892 short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper," Gilman also wrote Herland, a wry novel that imagines a peaceful, progressive country from which men have been absent for 2,000 years.

Both are included in The Yellow Wall-Paper and Selected Writings, along with a selection of Gilman''s major short stories and her poems. New York Times bestselling author Kate Bolick contributes an illuminating introduction that explores Gilman''s fascinating yet complicated life.
