About Charlotte Perkins Gilman
- Charlotte Perkins Gilman (; née Perkins; July 3, 1860 – August 17, 1935), also known as Charlotte Perkins Stetson, her first married name, was a prominent American humanist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform.
- She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle.
- She has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.
- Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper", which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis. Less well known are Gilman's views on race.
- To solve the so-called "Negro Problem" in the United States in the early twentieth century, Gilman suggested a system of forced labor she called "enlistment".
