Description for The Yellow Wall-paper, Herland, and Selected Writings Paperback. Offers a collection of short stories including "The Yellow Wall-Paper", the novel "Herland", and poems. Num Pages: 384 pages. BIC Classification: FC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 214 x 129 x 22. Weight in Grams: 260.
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 this volume, along with a selection of Gilman's major short stories and her poems.
