Inhalt: 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.

A must-read for fans of utopian science fiction, Herland describes a society comprised solely of female inhabitants. The residents of the isolated community have perfected a form of asexual reproduction, and have constructed a society that is free from all of the ills associated with Western culture, including war, strife, conflict, cruelty, and even pollution. Written by renowned feminist thinker Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland is a thought-provoking and entertaining novel that will engage male and female readers alike.
Early feminist author and advocate Charlotte Perkins Gilman is today best remembered for the haunting short story The Yellow Wallpaper, which recounts the female protagonist's descent into madness. In addition to her prodigious body of fictional work, Gilman wrote a great deal of non-fiction, including scholarly and persuasive essays about equality and the female condition. This long-form essay details the misogyny that was pervasive in Western culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1892 short story, The Yellow Wallpaper is a valuable piece of American feminist literature that reveals attitudes toward the psychological health of women in the nineteenth century. Diagnosed with "temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency" by her physician husband, a woman is confined to an upstairs bedroom. Descending into psychosis at the complete lack of stimulation, she starts obsessing over the room's yellow wallpaper: "It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw - not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things. But there is something else about that paper - the smell! ... The only thing I can think of that it is like is the color of the paper! A yellow smell."
Early feminist author Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a pioneer not only in the realm of women's fiction, but also in a remarkable array of other ventures, including publishing, journalism, sociological research, and social reform advocacy. Like many of her works, including the gripping and oft-anthologized tale The Yellow Wallpaper, the novel What Diantha Did deals with the challenges facing women in nineteenth-century society. In this novel, the protagonist solves the conflict between women's household duties and the financial imperative to work outside the home by opening a somewhat unusual boarding house.
