		But clearly Gilman's purpose is to provide a critique of the social order of the day, using humor as a way to mask her telling barbs and to provide her unorthodox views of gender roles, motherhood, individuality, privacy, and other issues.
		Gilman lacks this facility, and what's worse, she's of that strip of author who feels that, in order to make sure the message is clearly heard by the reader, she must go out of her way and add a clarifying sentence.
		Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote this novel after leaving her own husband and home, going off to prove that women are as capable as making a living for themselves as men are.

	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).

	Charlotte Perkins Gilman
		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.
