The Charlotte Perkins Gilman Collection

These texts were published in 1892, 1914, 1891, 1911, and 1909.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (July 3, 1860-August 17, 1935) has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Included in this collection of her works are:

The Yellow Wallpaper

In this story, which was written after a severe bout of postpartum depression, Charlotte gives us a disturbing and surreal view of the deterioration of a woman's mental health and her descent into psychosis from her depression.

If I Were a Man

This story, published in 1914, is a "fly on the wall" view of a man's inner landscape as witnessed by his wife, whose wish to inhabit a male consciousness comes true.

The Giant Wistaria

Let's join this well-to-do young couple and their friends as they look forward to a lovely summer in the haunted house they rent.

Turned

What would you do if you found out that your husband had cheated on you with the household help?

When I Was a Witch

What would you do if you could right all the wrongs that annoy you in this world?
