Perkins Gilman Charlotte; Scacchi A. (cur.) Title : La terra delle donne. «Herland» e altri racconti (1891-1916)
Author: Perkins Gilman Charlotte; Scacchi A. (cur.)
Publisher: Donzelli

Tre vecchi amici - un medico, un ricco magnate e un sociologo -, legati dalla passione per i viaggi e l'esplorazione, colgono al volo l'occasione di unirsi a una grande spedizione scientifica e malauguratamente si ritrovano da soli in una terra sconosciuta, forse in Sud America. Parte da qui, come un vero e proprio romanzo d'avventura, il racconto-pamphlet che Charlotte Perkins Gilman scrisse nel 1915, dando vita alla prima utopia femminista dell'età contemporanea. Antesignana dell'insofferenza e della consapevolezza delle donne riguardo alla disuguaglianza loro imposta dall'ordine sociale, Gilman mise sotto gli occhi di tutti l'insensatezza, oltre che l'ingiustizia, della condizione femminile. E lo fece scegliendo la via più semplice e diretta: un racconto di fantasia che mette in bocca a un uomo, il narratore-esploratore, la scoperta e la descrizione di un paese felicemente e pacificamente abitato da sole donne. Quale arguzia e quanta ironia. Le stesse che ritroviamo negli altri suoi racconti, tra cui 'La carta da parati gialla' (1892). Scritto in forma di diario, il racconto ci conduce nell'abisso della solitudine e dell'emarginazione di una donna che solo attraverso la scrittura - che per Gilman è uno strumento politico e mai fine a se stessa - troverà una forma di riscatto e di liberazione. Quella che si raggiunge mettendo sulla carta il rimosso della nostra cultura.

Perkins Gilman Charlotte; Venturi F. (cur.) Title : La carta da parati gialla. Testo inglese a fronte
Author: Perkins Gilman Charlotte; Venturi F. (cur.)
Publisher: La Vita Felice

La carta da parati gialla è un racconto breve che l'autrice scrisse in appena due giorni. Dopo una iniziale indifferenza da parte degli editori, il critico americano William Dean Howells decise di pubblicarlo nel suo' The Modern Great American Stories' nel 1920. Si presenta sotto forma di un diario di voci che raccontano giorno dopo giorno i dettagli della discesa nella follia di una donna affetta da quello che suo marito medico descrive come una 'temporanea depressione nervosa'.

Perkins Gilman Charlotte Title : La governante e altri problemi domestici
Author: Perkins Gilman Charlotte
Publisher: Astoria

La frustrazione delle donne in un mondo dominato dagli uomini. Come coniugare le esigenze femminili con l'impegno domestico? Come riuscire a pensare, fare il proprio lavoro, amare, essere indipendenti se ogni giorno, tutti i giorni, bisogna organizzare la vita domestica? Lievi e ironici, questi racconti offrono una serie di soluzioni possibili, rivoluzionarie all'epoca in cui sono state scritte, interessanti e curiose oggi. Tra uomini troppo perfetti per essere veri che trovano soluzioni fantasiose ed efficaci per liberare le loro compagne da noiose incombenze e donne che si organizzano e ottengono l'indipendenza economica, Charlotte Perkins Gilman descrive con leggerezza e umorismo il senso di frustrazione che provano le donne in un mondo dominato dagli uomini e spiega come, con relativa facilità, le donne possono trovare il benessere mentale e spirituale.

Gilman Charlotte Perkins, O'Farrell Maggie (INT) Title : The Yellow Wallpaper and Selected Writings
Author: Gilman Charlotte Perkins, O'Farrell Maggie (INT)
Publisher: Trafalgar Square

'It is stripped off?the paper?in great patches . . . The colour is repellent . . . In the places where it isn't faded and where the sun is just so?I can see a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure, that seems to skulk about . . .'
 
Based on the author's own experiences, The Yellow Wallpaper is the chilling tale of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by the 'rest cure' prescribed after the birth of her child. Isolated in a crumbling colonial mansion, in a room with bars on the windows, the tortuous pattern of the yellow wallpaper winds its way into the recesses of her mind. In addition to this masterpiece, this new edition includes a selection of her best short fiction and extracts from her autobiography.

Gilman Charlotte Perkins, Knight Denise D. (EDT) Title : The Yellow Wall-Paper, Herland, and Selected Writings
Author: Gilman Charlotte Perkins, Knight Denise D. (EDT)
Publisher: Penguin Classics

A superb collection of fiction and poetry from a major feminist voice in American literature Wonderfully sardonic and slyly humorous, the writings of landmark American feminist and socialist thinker Charlotte Perkins Gilman were penned in response to her frustration with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in America as the twentieth century began. Perhaps best known for her chilling depiction of a womanÂ's mental breakdown in her unforgettable 1892 short story “The Yellow Wall-Paper,” Gilman also wrote Herland, a cunning, wry novel that imagines a peaceful, progressive, environmentally conscious country from which men have been absent for two thousand years. Both are included in this volume, along with a selection of GilmanÂ's major short stories and her poems.

Gilman Charlotte Perkins, Hedges Elaine Title : The Yellow Wall-Paper
Author: Gilman Charlotte Perkins, Hedges Elaine
Publisher: Feminist Pr

First published in 1892, The Yellow Wall-Paper is written as the secret journal of a woman who, failing to relish the joys of marriage and motherhood, is sentenced to a country rest cure. Though she longs to write, her husband and doctor forbid it, prescribing instead complete passivity. In the involuntary confinement of her bedroom, the hero creates a reality of her own beyond the hypnotic pattern of the faded yellow wallpaper – a pattern that has come to symbolize her own imprisonment. Narrated with superb psychological and dramatic precision, The Yellow Wall-Paper stands out not only for the imaginative authenticity with which it depicts one woman's descent into insanity, but also for the power of its testimony to the importance of freedom and self-empowerment for women.

Gilman Charlotte Perkins Title : The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Writings
Author: Gilman Charlotte Perkins
Publisher: Bantam Classic & Loveswept

Known primarily for her classic and haunting story "The Yellow Wallpaper," Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an enormously influential American feminist and sociologist. Her early-twentieth-century writings continue to inspire writers and activists today. This collection includes selections from both her fiction and nonfiction work.

In addition to the title story, there are seven short stories collected here that combine humor, anger, and startling vision to suggest how women's "place" in society should be changed to benefit all. The nonfiction selections are from Gilman's The Man-Made World: Our Androcentric Culture and her masterpiece, Women And Economics, which was translated into seven languages and established her international reputation as a theorist.

Also included in a delightful excerpt from Gilman's utopian novel, Herland, an acidly funny tale about three American male explorers who stumble into an all-female society and begin their odyssey by insisting, "This is a civilized country . . . there must be men." Gilman's analyses of economic and women's issues are as incisive and relevant today as they were upon their original publication. This volume is an unprecedented opportunity to rediscover a powerful American writer.

Gilman Charlotte Perkins Title : The Living of Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Author: Gilman Charlotte Perkins
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Pr

    Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1869-1935) was one of the leading intellectuals of the American women's movement in the first two decades of the twentieth century.  Moving beyond the struggle for suffrage, Gilman confronted an even larger problem—economic and social discrimination against women.  Her book, Women and Economics, published in 1898, was repeatedly printed and translated into seven languages.  She was a tireless traveler, lecturer, and writer and is perhaps best known for her dramatic short story, 'The Yellow Wallpaper.'  Gilman's autobiography gives us access to the life of a remarkable and courageous woman.
    Originally published in 1935, soon after Gilman's death, The Living of Charlotte Perkins Gilman has been out of print for several years.  This edition includes a new introduction by Gilman's noted biographer, Anne J. Lane.
