Autorenporträt
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was an American writer and social reformist, born in Hartford, Connecticut. She's best-known for her semi-autobiographical short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper' (1892), which is loosely based on her experience with postpartum psychosis and is now widely considered to be a seminal feminist text. Now considered a feminist role model, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1994.
