Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America''s leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. The Yellow Wall-Paper and Other Stories makes available the fullest selection of her short fiction ever printed. In addition to her pioneering masterpiece, `The Yellow Wall-Paper'' (1890), which draws on her own experience of depression and insanity, this edition features her Impress `story studies'', works in the manner of writers such as James, Twain, and Kipling. These stories, together with other fiction from her neglected California period (1890-5), throw new light on Gilman as a practitioner of the art of fiction. In her Forerunner stories she repeatedly explores the situation of`the woman of fifty'' and inspires reform by imagining workable solutions to a range of personal and social problems.
