Our Presentation retrospectively looked at the life, works, and effect of the author Charlotte Perkins Gilman. By assessing Gilman’s motivations, personal life, and passions, we discovered her activism for women’s rights and roles, her motivations through this as well as her disease in her writing, and the effect she hoped to have on society which changed the general view of the position women should maintain in society. While actively presenting our work, we could have prepared a smoother understanding and transitional knowledge of the different aspects of Gilman’s life, as well as expounded on some of her theories.
