Charlotte Perkins Gilman,[object Object],    Best known for her short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper," Gilman was a woman who wrote a great number of works, from short journalism to book length discussions of the social realities of women's lives to poetry. Her book, Women and Economics was acclaimed as a major triumph and re-published in several languages; Vassar College even used it as a textbook for a short time. Gilman's major concern during her lifetime was feminism-- women's suffrage as well as women's economic independence.,[object Object],     She also self-published a magazine titled, ,[object Object],The Forerunner, for seven years; the magazine is an incredible collection of thought and ideas and an example of how driven she was.,[object Object], ,[object Object]
Biography,[object Object],     She was born Charlotte Anna Perkins, on July 3, 1860, in Hartford, CT. Her mother was Mary Fitch Westcott, and her father was Frederic Beecher Perkins. This made Gilman the great granddaughter of Lyman Beecher, and the great-niece of Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe. She had a brother, Thomas Adie, who was 14 months older; there were two siblings who died in infancy. Gilman's mother was advised to have no more children, soon after this, her father left the family on their own. Critics have guessed that the basis for his desertion was concern of killing his wife in childbirth. (Wells)  The family was sent to live with relatives; they were the "poor relations" who traveled around frequently during Gilman's childhood. Maybe this is one reason that Gilman herself developed ,[object Object],unsure outlook about marriage and declared to not marry. Needless to say, that vow was broken when she married Charles Walter Stetson. Their marriage was a troubled one, eventually ending in a controversial divorce. They had one daughter, Katherine Beecher Stetson who was born,[object Object],March 23, 1885. Many years later (in 1900), Gilman was re-married to her cousin George Houghton Gilman; they remained happily married until his sudden death May 4, 1934. After his death, Gilman moved to California to be with her daughter and her family. Gilman learned in 1932 that she had incurable breast cancer. As an advocate for the right-to-die, Gilman committed suicide on August 17, 1935 by taking an overdose of chloroform. She "chose chloroform over cancer" as her autobiography and suicide note stated. (Wells) It seems that in her lifetime, Gilman was well respected among her peers and socialist circles.  Her original attempt at publishing “The Yellow Wallpaper” failed as Horace Scudder, the editor of The Atlantic wrote, “that it was so terribly good that it ought never to be printed.” (Reuben),[object Object]
