Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935), also known as Charlotte Perkins Stetson, was a prominent American sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper", which she wrote after a severe bout of post-partum depression.

She was the daughter of Frederic B. Perkins.

Meh. Felt like I was in school reading these. Some were goodish, some were not. To each their own.

I have The Yellow Wallpaper & Other Stories by Charlotte Gilman, published by Aedha Classics (an imprint of Anubhav Publishers and Distributors), ISBN: 9788197416057. It contains 7 stories total. Sadly, couldn't find that edition or another with the same stories listed on Goodreads. This one has 5 of the stories in common and a close enough page count, so I decided to shelve this instead!

I have listened to The Yellow Wallpaper on audio, find my review here!
