More quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Patriotism, red hot, is compatible with the existence of a neglect of national interests, a dishonesty, a cold indifference to the suffering of millions. Patriotism is largely pride, and very largely combativeness. Patriotism generally has a chip on its shoulder.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Maternal instinct, merely as an instinct, is unworthy of our superstitious reverence.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The best proof of man's dissatisfaction with the home is found in his universal absence from it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
It will be a great thing for the human soul when it finally stops worshipping backwards.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The children in this country are the one center and focus of all our thoughts. Every step of our advance is always considered in its effect on them-on the race. You see, we are MOTHERS, she repeated, as if in that she had said it all.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I do not want to be a fly,I want to be a worm!
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

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Legitimate sex-competition brings out all that is best in man.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Not woman, but the condition of woman, has always been a doorway of evil.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
In New York City, everyone is an exile, none more so than the Americans.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
One religion after another has accepted and perpetuated man's original mistake in making a private servant of the mother of the race.
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
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
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
I have preferred chloroform to cancer
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To work is not only a right, it is a duty. To work to the full capacity of one's powers is necessary for human development - the full use of one's best faculties - this is the health and happiness for both man and woman.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I'm sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition.
