She is best known for fiction—such as the classic short story “The Yellow Wall-Paper” (1892)—and nonfiction, including her manifesto \u003ci\u003eWomen and Economics\u003c\/i\u003e (1898), a work of intersectional sociology \u003ci\u003eavant la lettre\u003c\/i\u003e. Nevertheless, as a young writer, Gilman made her living delivering lectures. One cannot know Gilman without some knowledge of this body of lectures; this book fills that critical gap in Gilman scholarship. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Since the recovery of Charlotte Perkins Gilman began in the late 1960s and continued with the republication of “The Yellow Wall-Paper” in the 1970s, her image in cultural memory has been increasingly celebrated. Andrew J. Ball presents here fifty previously unpublished texts. They trace the development of Gilman’s thoughts on diverse subjects like gender, education, labor, science, theology, and politics—forming an intellectual diary of her growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e These lectures are not just a testament to Gilman’s personal evolution, but also a crucial contribution to the foundations of American sociology and philosophy. \u003ci\u003eThe Essential Lectures of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 1890–1894\u003c\/i\u003e marks a historic moment, unveiling the hidden genius of Gilman's oratory legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52570158235928,"sku":"9780817322021","price":66.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-essential-lectures-of-charlotte-perkins-gilman-1890-1894-hardback-9780817322021","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
