Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Architecture might be more sportive and varied if every man built his own house, but it would not be the art and science that we have made it and while every woman prepares food for her own family, cooking can never rise beyond the level of the amateur's work.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The female of genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The children in this country are the one center and focus of all our thoughts. Every step of our advance is always considered in its effect on them-on the race. You see, we are MOTHERS, she repeated, as if in that she had said it all.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
There should be an end to the bitterness of feeling which has arisen between the sexes in this century.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A concept is stronger than a fact.
