Charlotte Perkins Gilman 
Yellow Wallpaper [EPUB ebook] 
"Through literature we know the past, govern the present, and influence the future."

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (July 3, 1860 — August 17, 1935) was a prominent American sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper", which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis.
