Best known for the 1892 title story of this collection, a harrowing tale of a woman\'s descent into madness, Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote more than 200 other short stories.
Written from a feminist perspective, often focusing on the inferior status accorded to women by society, the tales include "Turned," an ironic story with a startling twist, in which a husband seduces and impregnates a naive servant; "Cottagette," concerning the romance of a young.
Seven of her finest are reprinted here.
