The home: its work and influence
Gilman, Charlotte Perkins
Home
We have had military novels, and marine novels; novels of adventure, of
mystery and crime; religious novels, historic novels, novels of
business life, trades unions and the labor question; novels of "local
color," dialect novels; and romances pure and simple--also impure and
complicated. This novel deals with the most practical problem of
women's lives today--and settles it--NOT by cooperation.

CHARLTON COMPANY, 67 Wall St., New York
"THE YELLOW WALLPAPER"
Worthy of a place beside some of the weird masterpieces of Hawthorne
and Poe.--_Literature._
As a short story it stands among the most powerful produced in
America.--_Chicago News._
By mail of Charlton Co., $0.50.
"HUMAN WORK"
Charlotte Perkins Gilman has added a third to her great trilogy of
books on economic subjects as they affect our daily life, particularly
in the home. Mrs. Gilman is by far the most brilliant woman writer of
our day, and this new volume, which she calls "Human Work," is a
glorification of labor.--_New Orleans Picayune._
Charlotte Perkins Gilman has been writing a new book, entitled "Human
Work." It is the best thing that Mrs. Gilman has done, and it is meant
to focus all of her previous work, so to speak.--_Tribune, Chicago._
In her latest volume, "Human Work," Charlotte Perkins Gilman places
herself among the foremost students and elucidators of the problem of
social economics.--_San Francisco Star._
It is impossible to overestimate the value of the insistence on the
social aspect of human affairs as Mrs. Gilman has outlined it.--_Public
Opinion._
By mail of Charlton Co., $1.00.
"IN THIS OUR WORLD"
There is a joyous superabundance of life, of strength, of health, in
Mrs. Gilman's verse, which seems born of the glorious sunshine and rich
gardens of California.--_Washington Times._
The freshness, charm and geniality of her satire temporarily convert us
to her most advanced views.--_Boston Journal._
The poet of women and for women, a new and prophetic voice in the
world. Montaigne would have rejoiced in her.--_Mexican Herald._
By mail of Charlton Co., $1.25.
"THE HOME"
Indeed, Mrs. Gilman has not intended her book so much as a treatise for
scholars as a surgical operation on the popular mind.--_The Critic,
New York._
Whatever Mrs. Gilman writes, people read--approving or protesting,
still they read.--_Republican, Springfield, Mass._
Full of thought and of new and striking suggestions. Tells what the
average woman has and ought not keep, what she is and ought not
be.--_Literature World._
But it is safe to say that no more stimulating arraignment has ever
before taken shape and that the argument of the book is noble, and, on
the whole, convincing.--_Congregationalist, Boston._
The name of this author is a guarantee of logical reasoning, sound
economical principles and progressive thought.--_The Craftsman,
Syracuse._
By mail of Charlton Co., $1.00.
"The Home" has been translated into Swedish.
