	Gilman, "Yellow Wallpaper"
		Gilman comes from a long list of freedom fighters for women’s rights; without having this type of influence throughout her life she would have never become the free thinker and advocate that she is famous for today.
		Charlotte Gilman was born on July 3, 1860, in Hartford, Connecticut to a long lineage of revolutionary thinkers, writers, and intermarriages that were, as Carol Berkin put it, "in discrete confirmation of their pride in association" (18).
		Gilman’s love for free will and her work caused a major tension that was not anticipated; the stress of denying the “normal” social roles of women caused her to have a breakdown that led to the meeting with Dr. S.Weir Mitchell.

	Charlotte Perkins Gilman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gilman's life was shaped by two principle circumstances of her family; one was their status as intellectuals and reformers (Harriet Beecher Stowe was Gilman's great-aunt, and her great-grandfather was the fmous minister Lyman Beecher, among other lesser luminaries) and the other was the instability of her nuclear family, with her mother's consequent unhappiness.
		Gilman described her mother's system of child-rearing as deliberately "deny[ing] the child all expression of affection as far as possible, so that she should not be used to it or long for it." This had a naturally unhappy effect on Gilman, who was frequently visited by self-doubt and depression throughout her adult life.
		Stetson's belief that Gilman should become less "selfish" - that is, wholly devoted to his service, rather than involved in the public welfare - exacerbated her mental troubles, particularly as she seems to have internalized his (and society's) prescription that wives should abnegate their individuality on the shrine of spousal devotion.
