Description

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" is one of the key texts in American women's fiction and also a rallying cry for feminism. Since its original printing in 1892, it has been routinely anthologized in collections of women's literature, American literature, and textbooks. This volume gathers nine other equally momentous stories by a diverse group of renowned American women authors who changed the world with their compelling tales. These ten stories testify to the power of the imagination to create personal transformation and political change. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was an American author of novels, short stories, poetry, and nonfiction. She was also a utopian feminist who gained fame and developed a social circle of like-minded activists and writers of the feminist movement as she lectured widely for social reform. She is most known today for her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper."Ulrich Baer earned a B.A. from Harvard and a Ph.D. from Yale. A widely published author, he is University Professor at New York University, and has been awarded Guggenheim, Getty, and Alexander von Humboldt fellowships. He has written numerous books on poetry, photography and cultural politics, and edited and translated Rainer Maria Rilke's The Dark Interval, Letters on Life, and Letters to a Young Poet. He hosts leading writers and artists on the "Think About It" podcast. In the Warbler Press Contemplations series, he has published: Nietzsche, Rilke, Dickinson, Wilde, and Shakespeare on Love.
