Charlotte Perkins Gilman

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
We are pushed forward by the social forces, reluctant and stumbling, our faces over our shoulders, clutching at every relic of the past as we are forced along still adoring whatever is behind us. We insist upon worshipping 'the God of our fathers.' Why not the God of our children? Does eternity only stretch one way?
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The fact that women in the home have shut themselves away from the thought and life of the world has done much to retard progress.We fill the world with the children of 20th century A.D. fathers and 20th century B.C. mothers.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The softest, freest, most pliable and changeful living substance is the brain-the hardest and most iron-bound as well.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
There should be an end to the bitterness of feeling which has arisen between the sexes in this century.
