Happy Women's History Month!

March is Women's History Month, so I'll try to focus on someone each day of the work week.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

American social activist and writer

"Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent social activist and leading theorist of the women's movement at the turn of the twentieth century. . .best known today for her short story The Yellow Wallpaper, in which she portrayed a young woman's mental breakdown based on her own experience."
