Charlotte Perkins Gilman byla klíčovou americkou socioložkou a spisovatelkou, známou svými romány, povídkami, poezií i odbornými eseji. Byla utopickou feministkou, jejíž neortodoxní názory a životní styl inspirovaly budoucí generace. Svým dílem se zabývala reformou společnosti a zanechala nesmazatelnou stopu v sociologických i literárních kruzích. Její práce často odráží její osobní zkušenosti a slouží jako silná kritika dobových společenských norem.

Sozialkritik als Gothic Novel und ein utopischer Roman gegen Diskriminierung
Charlotte Perkins Gilmans einflussreichste Werke in einem Band: Mit der feministischen Horrorerzählung »Die gelbe Tapete« gelang ihr 1892 der Durchbruch. Eine junge Frau wird nach der Geburt ihres Kindes zu strikter Schonung verdammt, im Bett einer Dachkammer mit vergitterten Fenstern soll sie sich erholen, von ihrem Ehemann und dem Arzt streng überwacht. Doch die Muster der Wandtapete führen ein unheilvolles Eigenleben ... In Gilmans utopischem Roman »Herland« brechen drei abenteuerlustige Männer auf zu einem geheimnisvollen »Frauenland«; die Realität der friedlichen Frauengesellschaft wird das Welt- und vor allem Frauenbild der drei für immer verändern. Als erste klassisch feministische Utopie ist »Herland« in die Literaturgeschichte eingegangen. Endlich eine deutsche Ausgabe mit beiden Schlüsseltexten der großen amerikanischen Frauenrechtlerin Aufrüttelnd, fesselnd und schnell gelesen: zwei feministische Klassiker der Weltliteratur Für Leser*innen von Edgar Allen Poe und Virginia Woolf
This new collection of short stories highlights work of early Feminist Charlotte Gilman as an editor, activist and writer. She focused on how women were not just stay-at-home mothers they were expected to be, but people who had dreams, able to travel and work as men did, and whose goals included a society where women were just as important as men.
