书籍简介

收集了这位开创性的女权主义作家z著名的作品，并由畅销书作家凯特·博利克作了发人深省的导言。

美国里程碑式的女权主义者和社会主义思想家夏洛特·珀金斯·吉尔曼的作品奇妙地讽刺和狡猾地幽默，是为了回应她对20世纪初美国普遍存在的基于性别的双重标准的失望而写的。吉尔曼也许因在她令人难忘的1892年短篇小说《黄色壁纸》中对一个女人精神崩溃的描述而最为著名，她还写了《赫兰》，这是一部诙谐的小说，想象了一个和平、进步的国家，男人已经离开这个国家两千年了。这两部作品都收录在《黄色壁纸》和《文选》中，同时还有吉尔曼的主要短篇小说和她的诗歌选集。纽约时报畅销书作者凯特·博利克撰写了一篇富有启发性的介绍，探讨了吉尔曼迷人而复杂的生活。

A collection of the groundbreaking feminist writer's most famous works, with a thought-provoking introduction by bestselling author Kate Bolick.

A Penguin Vitae Edition

Wonderfully sardonic and slyly humorous, the writings of landmark American feminist and socialist thinker Charlotte Perkins Gilman were penned in response to her frustrations with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in America as the twentieth century began. Perhaps best known for her chilling depiction of a woman's mental breakdown in her unforgettable 1892 short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper," Gilman also wrote Herland, a wry novel that imagines a peaceful, progressive country from which men have been absent for 2,000 years. Both are included in The Yellow Wall-Paper and Selected Writings, along with a selection of Gilman's major short stories and her poems. New York Times bestselling author Kate Bolick contributes an illuminating introduction that explores Gilman's fascinating yet complicated life.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was born in New England, a descendant of the prominent and influential Beecher family. In 1884 she married Charles Water Stetson. After giving birth, Charlotte sank into a deep depression. She entered a sanitarium in Philadelphia to undergo the 'rest cure', a controversial treatment, which forbade any type of physical activity or intellectual stimulation. In 1892, she published the now-famous story “The Yellow Wall-Paper.” In 1898, her most famous nonfiction book, Women and Economics, was published. With its publication, and subsequent translation into seven languages, Gilman earned international acclaim. In 1900, she married her first cousin, George Houghton Gilman. Over the next thirty-five years, she wrote and published hundreds of stories and poems and more than a dozen books.
