Bøger af Charlotte Perkins Gilman

5 hjerter i Politiken5 stjerner i Berlingske"Det gule tapet" (1892) er et uomgængeligt værk i amerikansk feministisk litteratur. Charlotte Perkins Gilmans gotiske historie, om en kvinde der gennemlever en ufrivillig ”hvilekur” på et værelse med en ildevarslende indretning og et hypnotiserende gult tapet, er baseret på Gilmans egne katastrofale erfaringer med en tvungen hvilekur ovenpå en fødselsdepression.Historiens lurende uhygge får læseren til at betvivle egen dømmekraft. Hovedpersonen er sammen med sin lægeægtemand afskåret fra omverdenen i en afsidesliggende sommerresidens. Hun er patient, han behandler. Men hvor lurer den sande fare? I hendes eget sind, i ægtemandens tvangsbehandling – eller i tapetet?Charlotte Perkins Gilman ( 1860 -1935) var en amerikansk feminist, fordragsholder og forfatter. Hun anses i dag som værende en af de førende stemmer indenfor kvindesagen i sin samtid. Efter sin død i 1934 gled hun dog hurtig ud i glemsel, indtil hun i 1970erne blev genopdaget af andenbølge-feministerne.

What would happen if society was run by women? Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines the result... When three American men discover a community of women, living in perfect isolation in the Amazon, they decide there simply must be men somewhere.

PREFACEThis story is, first, for young women to read; second, for young men to read; after that, for anybody who wants to. Anyone who doubts its facts and figures is referred to "Social Diseases and Marriage," by Dr. Prince Morrow, or to "Hygiene and Morality," by Miss Lavinia Dock, a trained nurse of long experience.Some will hold that the painful facts disclosed are unfit for young girls to know. Young girls are precisely the ones who must know them, in order that they may protect themselves and their children to come. The time to know of danger is before it is too late to avoid it.If some say "Innocence is the greatest charm of young girls," the answer is, "What good does it do them?"

Kort før 1. verdenskrig sætter verden i brand i 1914, gør tre unge amerikanske opdagelsesrejsende et utroligt fund i et uudforsket naturområde. "Kvindeland" er navnet på det utopiske samfund, der i tusindvis af år har været afskærmet fra omverdenen, og hvor der nu kun bor kvinder. De tre mænds frygt for at blive mødt med mistro og modvilje gøres til skamme, da kvinderne tager dem til sig med åbne arme og gør en stor indsats for at lære dem deres sprog, så de kan blive en del af deres samfund. I takt med at mændene kommer til at forstå landets socialistiske og solidariske normer, befolkningens åbenhed og hjælpsomhed og den fuldstændige mangel på kønsrollernes snærende bånd, begynder de at se deres eget hjemland i et helt andet lys.Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) var en af de første feminister, der forsøgte at forene feminisme med socialisme. Hun brugte sit liv på at holde foredrag og skrive bøger for at fremme kvindesagen. Ud over fiktion og digte skrev hun bøger om historie, antropologi, etik og filosofi, og hendes bidrag til kulturhistorien og kvindesagen har været enormt.
