Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an influential American feminist, sociologist, and writer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
She is best known for her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," which drew from her own experiences with postpartum depression and the rest cure.
Gilman was a prolific author of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, often addressing women's issues and social reform.
Her unconventional lifestyle and progressive ideas made her a role model for future feminists.
Gilman's work continues to be studied for its insights into gender roles and mental health in Victorian-era America.
