Charlotte Perkins Gilman was Americas leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. The Yellow Wall-Paper and Other Stories makes available the fullest selection of her short fiction ever printed. In addition to her pioneering masterpiece- The Yellow Wall-Paper (1890)- which draws on her own experience of depression and insanity- this edition features her Impress story studies- works in the manner of writers such as James- Twain- and Kipling. These stories- together with other fiction from her neglected California period (1890-5)- throw new light on Gilman as a practitioner of the art of fiction. In her Forerunner stories she repeatedly explores the situation of the woman of fifty and inspires reform by imagining workable solutions to a range of personal and social problems.
