In her works of fiction, Gilman sought to illustrate her ideas about the way American society squandered the talents and economic contributions of women. Based on the nervous breakdown she suffered during her own disastrous first marriage, <i>The Yellow Wall-Paper</i> is her classic story about a woman who goes mad when the rest-cure treatment she undergoes forbids her any kind of work.<br><br><i>Herland</i>, Gilman's most famous novel, is a feminist utopian comedy in which three men stumble upon a society of women that has banished men. Also included in this Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics edition is a selection of Gilman's poetry and other short fiction. Gilman scholar Denise D. Knight has written an enlightening Introduction that explores Gilman's use of the utopian form, satire, and fantasy to provide a critique of women's place in society and to propose creative solutions. 803816 1 9 1999 Herland, The Yellow Wall-Paper, and Selected Writings total:228|5:69|4:90|3:55|2:11|1:3| 228 895 286 24 86502 0141180625 9780141180625 225 24 3.93 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171068755m/86502.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86502.Herland_The_Yellow_Wall_Paper_and_Selected_Writings 4 0 false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Jun 25 09:24:08 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 09:30:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 86502 0141180625 9780141180625 225 24 3.93 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171068755m/86502.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86502.Herland_The_Yellow_Wall_Paper_and_Selected_Writings 2 0 false Wed Apr 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 22:21:22 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 19:58:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 86502 0141180625 9780141180625 225 24 3.93 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171068755m/86502.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86502.Herland_The_Yellow_Wall_Paper_and_Selected_Writings 3 0 false Fri Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 07:17:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 09:25:55 -0700 2008
