â€Å"The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.† Stated by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. She compared the labor of women to a horse because just as a horse has no say neither did women. She states that men could be wealthier if women were to work instead of doing only house work but they are entitled to keep up the house and that is there economic function in society. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a huge feminist in her time and influenced women through her literature such as The Yellow Wallpaper which displayed the struggles of women through her mind of being forced to listen to the orders of a man of what would†¦show more content†¦Ã¢â‚¬Å"I was put to bed and kept there. I was fed, bathed, rubbed†¦ after a month of this agreeable treatment he sent me home, with this prescription: Live as domestic a life as possible†¦ And neve r touch pen, brush or pencil as long as you live.

She took all that she had gone through with â€Å"the rest cure† and created The Yellow Wallpaper (Group, Telegraph Media 2). When her daughter had reached the age of nine she moved back with her father because Gilman believed it to be best. This caused people to accuse her to be an unfit mother and stated to have abandoned her child. To cope, she left California in 1895 and from that time through 1900 Gilman lived a somewhat nomadic life as a voracious lecturer and writer. In 1900 she married her first cousin George Houghton Gilman. The two lived in New York until 1922 when they moved to Norwich, Connecticut where she wrote His Religion and Hers. George died in 1934, and two years later Gilman was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Following her husband’s death, she returned to Pasadena, California to be near her daughter.
