Description
Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman was a feminist, author and lecturer. In this work Gilman drew on history, sociology, anthropology, and psychology and used an evolutionary perspective to explore women's subordinate status in society in the past and present. She believed women were undervalued because the essential work they performed of cooking, cleaning and child care was unpaid.
