Charlotte Perkins Gilman
In our steady insistence on proclaiming sex-distinction we have grown to consider most human attributes as masculine attributes, for the simple reason that they were allowed to men and forbidden to women.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Not woman, but the condition of woman, has always been a doorway of evil.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I do not want to be a fly,I want to be a worm!
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A man's honor always seems to want to kill a woman to satisfy it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
