More quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
We all need one another much and often. 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
To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse.
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
If a woman is really injured by her marriage, she should sue under the employer liability act. She should claim damages--not alimony.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
And woman should stand beside man as the comrade of his soul, not the servant of his body.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The home is the centre and circumference, the start and the finish, of most of our lives.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Not woman, but the condition of woman, has always been a doorway of evil.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A concept is stronger than a fact.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To-day there is hardly a woman of intelligence in all America ... who is not definitely and actively concerned in some social interest, who does not recognize some duty besides those incident to her own blood relationship.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Until we see what we are, we cannot take steps to become what we should be.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
We grovel and worship and pray to God to do what we ourselves ought to have done a thousand years ago, and can do now, as soon as we choose.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The mother- poor invaded soul- finds even the bathroom door no bar to hammering little hands.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
There's heaven. There it is. What more do we mean? People, free to come together, and in beauty - for growth.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The stony-minded orthodox were right in fearing the first movement of new knowledge and free thought. It has gone on, and will go on, irresistibly, until some day we shall have no respect for an alleged truth which cannot stand the full blaze of knowledge, the full force of active thought.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The one predominant duty is to find one's work and do it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty. From her work, loved and honored though it is, she will return to her home life, the child life, with an eager, ceaseless pleasure, cleansed of all the fret and fraction and weariness that so mar it now.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A man does not have to stay at home all day, in order to love it why should a woman?
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
For men obsessed with women's underwear, a course in washing, ironing and mending is recommended.
