(1903)
A non fiction book by

 
 
A scathing attack on the domesticity of women in the early-20th century. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's central argument is that the economic independence and specialization of women is essential to the improvement of marriage, motherhood, domestic industry and racial improvement. Throughout, she maintains that the liberation of women -and of children and men, for that matter - requires getting women out of the house, both practically and ideologically.
