THE CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN READER is an anthology of fiction by one of America's most important feminist writers. Probably best known as the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper," in which a woman is driven mad by chauvinist psychiatry, Gilman wrote numerous other short stories and novels reflecting her radical socialist and feminist view of turn-of-the-century America. Collected here by noted Gilman scholar Ann J. Lane are eighteen stories and fragments, including a selection from Herland, Gilman's feminist Utopia. The resulting anthology provides a provocative blueprint to Gilman's intellectual and creative production.

The yellow wallpaper,
When I was a witch,
If I were a man,
The girl in the pink hat,
The cottagette,
The unnatural mother,
Making a change,
An honest woman,
Turned,
The widow's might,
Mr. Peebles' heart,
The crux,
What Diantha did,
Benigna Machiavelli,
Unpunished,
Moving the mountain,
Herland,
With her in Ourland.
