저자(글) 샬럿 퍼킨스 길먼

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (18601935) was an American humanist, novelist, lecturer, and social reformer, recognized as a pioneering feminist who advocated for women’s economic independence and social equality. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, and raised in poverty, she attended the Rhode Island School of Design. Her 1892 short story “The Yellow Wallpaper,” inspired by her own experience with postpartum depression, became a landmark critique of women’s oppression. Through works like Women and Economics and Herland, Gilman challenged patriarchal norms and the gendered division of labor. She argued that true autonomy and equality for women are impossible without economic independence-a conviction that remains relevant today. Gilman’s critical perspective on women’s rights, labor, family, and social structures continues to inspire contemporary discussions on gender equality and social justice
