By Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Tushar Lohia, Michael S. Kimmel, Amy Aronson, Marie Stritt, Aletta H. Jacobs
- Economic conditions, Social and moral questions, Social conditions, Women
Women and Economics is Gilman's most original and famous work of nonfiction. In it she examines the origins of women's subordination and its function in society. Woman, she argues, makes a living by marriage - not by the work she does - and thus man becomes her economic environment.

“SINCE we have learned to study the development of human life as we study the evolution of species throughout the animal kingdom, some peculiar phenomena which have puzzled the philosopher and moralist for so long, begin to show themselves in a new light.”
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 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 <a href="https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL352823A" target="_blank">Frederic B. Perkins</a>.
