Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent American humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate for social reform, and eugenicist. She was a trailblazing utopian feminist who challenged traditional gender roles and male dominance in society. Through her works, she focused on gender issues, particularly the division of labor based on gender. Gilman’s influential writings and lectures served as a beacon for future generations of feminists. Her semi-autobiographical short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” remains a powerful and enduring piece that sheds light on mental health and societal constraints.
