'There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. Might as well speak of a female liver. '--Charlotte Perkins GilmanCharlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935), a leading figure in the women's movement of the early twentieth century, is a pillar of the American feminist canon. This edition of her work includes her best-known story, 'The Yellow Wall-paper, ' a terrifying tale about a woman driven to the brink of insanity by the 'rest cure' she is ordered to follow by her doctor to relieve her postpartum depression. Also included is a wide range of other short stories; an abridged version of her little-known but brilliant utopian novel, Herland, about a peaceful all-female world; and selections from her landmark treatise, Women and Economics, first published in 1898 to universal acclaim. 'The most original and challenging mind which the [women's] movement produced. '--Carrie Chapman Catt
