About the Book

"The Man-Made World: Or, Our Androcentric Culture" Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a groundbreaking feminist critique that illuminates the pervasive influence of patriarchy on gender roles and societal norms. Through incisive analysis and feminist theory, Gilman unveils the inherent biases of androcentric culture, shedding light on the systemic gender inequality that permeates society. In this powerful work, Gilman challenges the traditional constructs of gender and calls for the liberation of women from oppressive societal expectations. Through her keen social critique, she exposes the ways in which women's rights are stifled within a patriarchal framework, advocating for a more equitable and inclusive culture. "The Man-Made World" serves as both a manifesto for women's liberation and a rallying cry against gender bias. Gilman's insightful exploration of feminism and gender dynamics resonates with readers, sparking important conversations about the need for systemic change. With its emphasis on dismantling patriarchal structures and promoting gender equality, Gilman's work remains a foundational text in feminist literature. "The Man-Made World" continues to inspire generations of activists and scholars in the ongoing struggle for women's rights and social justice.

About Author

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

When Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman passed away in 1935, she was well-known for both her political and journalistic writing as well as her unusual personal life. As a pioneering journalist and feminist scholar in her day, Gilman was a supporter of women's rights activists like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and her great-aunt Harriet Beecher Stowe. Although Gilman was interested in social justice and political injustice in general, her writing was primarily focused on the uneven treatment of women in the institution of marriage. Gilman argued that restricting women to the domestic sphere denied them the opportunity to express their full potential for creativity and intelligence while depriving society of women with the skills necessary for careers in the private and public sectors. Her arguments were made in such works as Concerning Children (1900), The Home (1904), and Human Work (1904). She argued that the conventional family power structure did not benefit anyone, not the wife who was treated like an unpaid servant, not the husband who was treated like a master, and not the kids who were subject to both. Women and Economics, her most ambitious study, examined the hidden worth of women's labor in the capitalist economy.
