Description

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was known for her utopian feminism and unorthodox way of thinking in the society of that time.

She believed that women should not be dependent on men for their survival both emotionally and economically, and also be free to work in whichever field they please.

Her work is seen as the foundation of feminism amongst people around the world. • As per the writer, women are always looked upon as a "race" who are expected to look after the house, keep their husband and family happy, and do household chores. • They have not been considered as someone who can run the household on her earnings and live a life free of boundaries and restrictions imposed upon by society. • She talks about how women depend on men for money, food, companionship, and even seek protection from men no matter how horribly they are treated. • Women do their best to thrive in the stimulus of dominance and negligence radiated by men and expect to receive some mutated version of freedom as a gesture of pity from the men. • This book takes you on a journey of realization towards the shackles of women, the reality of women from the Victorian times that somewhere still prevails in our society and has a significant hold on a woman's life. • This is by far one of Gilman's landmark works, addressing women's issues and laying the foundations of Feminism, which helped women get basic human rights. The book is a paperback book with well-arranged illustrations and optimized for a relaxed and enjoyable reading experience.

Happy Reading!
