Charlotte Perkins Gilman (July 3, 1860 August 17, 1935), also known as Charlotte Perkins Stetson, her first married name, was a prominent American humanist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. She has been inducted into the National Women”s Hall of Fame. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story “The Yellow Wallpaper”, which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis. Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880 1932) was a Bengali feminist thinker, educator and political activist from British India (present day Bangladesh). She is widely regarded as a pioneer of women”s liberation in South Asia. She advocated for men and women to be treated equally as rational beings, noting that the lack of education for women was responsible for their inferior economic position. She held education to be the central precondition of women”s liberation. She established the first school aimed primarily at Bengali Muslim girls in Kolkata. She is said to have gone from house to house persuading the parents to send their girls to her school in Nisah. Until her death, she ran the school despite facing hostile criticism and social obstacles. Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett (18461930), also known as Mrs George Corbett, was an English feminist writer, best known for her novel New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future (1889).Corbett worked as a journalist for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and as a popular writer of adventure and society novels. Many of her novels were written in the form of magazine serials and not published in book form. While New Amazonia was the most explicitly feminist of her novels, it was not the only one to deal with the position of women in society. Her 1894 novel When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead features one of the earliest female detectives in fiction, Annie Cory, and is itself preceded by Adventures of a Lady Detective around 1890, possibly published in a periodical. Her writing was not universally well received, but Hearth and Home listed her along with Arthur Conan Doyle as one of the masters of the art of the detective novel.
