This collection brings together 12 of the finest short stories of prominent American feminist author Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

As her boredom increases and her sanity deteriorates, she becomes fixated on the wallpaper in the room, the yellow design of which includes an image of a trapped woman.

The short story commenced its origin as a verbal utterance, or, as Robert Louis Stevenson puts it, with "the first men who told their stories round the savage campfire." Here is a collection that is entirely modern. The authors represented were among the leading authors of the day; the stories are principally stories of present-day life; the themes are themes of present-day thought. 

Herland is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The book describes an isolated society composed entirely of women, who reproduce via parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). The result is an ideal social order: free of war, conflict, and domination. It was first published in monthly installments as a serial in 1915 in The Forerunner, a magazine edited and written by Gilman between 1909 and 1916, with its sequel, With Her in Ourland beginning immediately thereafter in the January 1916 issue.
