Gilman created a world that could be viewed from the feminist gaze. She focused on how women were not just stay-at-home mothers they were expected to be but also people who had dreams, who were able to travel and work just as men did, and whose goals included a society where women were just as important as men. In the early 1900s this was striking and revolutionary. The stories in this collection are: ‚A Coincidence‘; ‚According To Solomon‘, ‚An Offender‘, ‚A Middle-Sized Artist‘, ‚Martha’s Mother‘, ‚Her Housekeeper‘, ‚When I Was A Witch‘, ‚Making a Living‘, ‚A Coincidence, The Cottagette‘, ‚The Boys and the Butter‘, ‚My Astonishing Dodo‘, and ‚A Word In Season‘. Foundations of Feminist Fiction. The early 1900s saw a quiet revolution in literature dominated by male adventure heroes. Both men and women moved beyond the norms of the male gaze to write from a different gender perpective, sometimes with female protagonists, but also expressing the universal freedom to write on any subject whatsoever.
