Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
In New York City, everyone is an exile, none more so than the Americans.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I have preferred chloroform to cancer
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Maternal instinct, merely as an instinct, is unworthy of our superstitious reverence.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I do not want to be a fly,I want to be a worm!
