What Charlotte Perkins Gilman actually said
- Charlotte Perkins Gilman American writer and feminist theorist (1860 to 1935)
A home in which the rightly dominant feminine force is held at a primitive plane of development, and denied free participation in the swift, wide, upward movement of the world, reacts upon those who hold it down by holding them down in turn.
