The Man-Made World

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a pioneering American humanist and feminist, known for her advocacy of social reform and her unique lifestyle choices. Her most notable work, "The Yellow Wallpaper," is a semi-autobiographical short story that explores themes of mental health and women's oppression, inspired by her own experiences with postpartum psychosis. Gilman's contributions to feminist literature and thought have established her as a significant figure in the movement, earning her a place in the National Women's Hall of Fame.
