Drawn from what Charlotte Perkins Gilman said
What Charlotte Perkins Gilman actually said
- Charlotte Perkins Gilman American writer and feminist theorist (1860 to 1935)
For, in her position of economic dependence in the sex-relation, sex-distinction is with her not only a means of attracting a mate, as with all creatures, but a means of getting her livelihood, as is the case with no other creature under heaven.
