DESCRIPTION:
"Great Research Book For Term Papers" according to A Customer. This book shows how Gilman was truly thinking during her times of her youth to her death. She speaks in her own words which makes it great for researching for term papers. I used this book last Fall to research a paper I was doing for Art of Literature class at College. It helped me trememdously and I think it will help others who read it to learn or read it to do research of her life in a paper for school. It is definitley an A+ in my book of books on Gilman's life.
-- Midwest Book Review. The depth will prove satisfying to any prior Gilman researcher. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was one of the leading intellectuals of early feminism at the turn of the century, producing five novels, three novels, and numerous short stories and poems along with various nonfiction works. Knight transcribed and annotated Gilman's diaries, providing college-level scholars familiar with Gilman's works with detailed access to her influences and philosophies
Gilman's diaries document the struggles she endured: the loss of a close childhood friend; her turbulent courtship and failed marriage; her debilitating depression and mental illness; her fight against chronic poverty; her mother's losing battle with cancer; and her second marriage.
