[Rarebooks] FS: Charlotte Perkins Gilman Handwritten SIGNED Note

[Charles Agvent]

GILMAN, Charlotte Perkins. AUTOGRAPH NOTE SIGNED (ANS). On a 4-1/4" x 4" 
piece of paper Gilman has written and SIGNED the following: "Sun. Jan. 
26 -- 1919./With warm regards/of the author/Charlotte Perkins 
Gilman/after a nice chicken!" Perkins, a feminist writer and grand-niece 
of Harriet Beecher Stowe, is perhaps best known for her 
semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" which she wrote 
after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis and which is considered an 
important early work of American feminist literature. Gilman believed 
economic independence was the only thing that could bring true freedom 
for women and make them equal to men, arguing that motherhood should not 
preclude a woman from working outside the home: "A house does not need a 
wife any more than it needs a husband.... There is no female mind. The 
brain is not an organ of sex. Might as well speak of a female liver." 
Slightly browned; mounting traces on verso. Very Good. (#021005)        $350
