Although best known for “The Yellow Wall-Paper,” her spine-chilling takedown of the “rest cure” prescribed for postpartum depression, Gilman spent her life advocating for a woman’s right to an education, to creative self-expression and economic self-sufficiency, and an end to the consumerism that blinded women to the ways that society held them back. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis collection brings together Gilman’s best-known work with her lesser-known satirical short stories to provide an overarching introduction to this relentless ideologue.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharlotte Perkins Gilman\u003c\/b\u003e (1860–1935) was a leading figure in the women’s movement of the early twentieth century. Gilman’s most famous work, “The Yellow Wall-Paper,” was based on her own experiences with postpartum depression and launched her into the national spotlight. Her subsequent work was built on her belief that women are not only the equal of men but in many ways their superiors. Gilman died in 1935 as the result of a breast cancer diagnosis. Having been diagnosed with inoperable breast cancer, she wrote that she “preferred chloroform to cancer.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    ","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43210045161633,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780593231258","price":19.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780593231258.jpg?v=1746068472","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-yellow-wall-paper-and-other-writings-paperback-by-charlotte-perkins-gilman-introduction-by-halle-butler","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
