at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - This is written from memory,
unfortunately. If I could have brought with me the material I so
carefully prepared, this would be a very different story. Whole
books full of notes, carefully copied records, firsthand
descriptions, and the pictures - that's the worst loss. We had some
bird's-eyes of the cities and parks; a lot of lovely views of
streets, of buildings, outside and in, and some of those gorgeous
gardens, and, most important of all, of the women themselves.
Nobody will ever believe how they looked. Descriptions aren't any
good when it comes to women, and I never was good at descriptions
anyhow. But it's got to be done somehow; the rest of the world
needs to know about that country. I haven't said where it was for
fear some self-appointed missionaries, or traders, or land-greedy
expansionists, will take it upon themselves to push in. They will
not be wanted, I can tell them that, and will fare worse than we
did if they do find it.
This masterpiece of social science by the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper" explores the evolution of women's economic reliance on men. Gilman discusses the limitations in intellectual and emotional development inherent in this convention and its injurious effects on both sexes. A classic of feminist theory, this work still resonates a century after its initial publication.
