Just as every human creature needs a place to be alone in, a sacred, private home of his own, so all human creatures need a place to be together in, from the two who can show each other their souls uninterruptedly, to the largest throng that can throb and stir in unison.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The female of genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To be surrounded by beautiful things has much influence upon the human creature to make beautiful things has more.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
