Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935) fut une figure majeure du féminisme américain, écrivaine, sociologue et militante pour les droits des femmes. Son œuvre, marquée par son engagement, explore les inégalités de genre et les normes sociales oppressives. *The Yellow Wallpaper*, inspiré de sa propre expérience de la « cure de repos », reste son texte le plus célèbre et un pilier de la littérature féministe. Gilman a aussi écrit des essais, des poèmes, et des utopies, comme *Herland*, où elle imagine une société entièrement féminine.
