Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Sinopse

The "Collected Works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman" is a compelling anthology that encapsulates the diverse literary contributions of one of the most significant feminist writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This collection includes her renowned short stories, such as "The Yellow Wallpaper," along with thought-provoking essays and poems that reflect her groundbreaking perspectives on gender, mental health, and societal norms. Gilman's distinctive style, characterized by sharp realism and poignant narrative, invites readers to engage deeply with the complexities of women's lived experiences in a patriarchal society. Her work emerges from the rich context of early feminist literature, challenging conventions and advocating for women's rights in a rapidly changing world. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was a prominent social reformer, lecturer, and writer whose own struggles with mental health and domesticity profoundly informed her writings. A key figure in the women's movement, Gilman utilized her personal experiences to critique societal structures and advocate for economic independence and self-expression for women. Her unique perspective as both a writer and a member of the feminist community allowed her to craft narratives that resonate with timeless relevance. This anthology serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in feminist literature, American culture, or social reform. Readers will find in Gilman's collected works not only a voice advocating for change but also a deep exploration of the human spirit confronted by the constraints of society. An indispensable read for scholars, students, and general readers alike, this collection illuminates the enduring power of Gilman's literary legacy.

The Witch of New York - The...

Alex Hortis

Before the sensational cases of Amanda Knox and Casey Anthony—before even Lizzie Borden—there was Polly Bodine, the first American woman put on trial for capital murder in our nation’s debut media circus.
On Christmas night, December 25, 1843, in a serene village on Staten Island, shocked neighbors discovered the burnt remains of twenty-four-year-old mother Emeline Houseman and her infant daughter, Ann Eliza. In a perverse nativity, someone bludgeoned to death a mother and child in their home—and then covered up the crime with hellfire.
When an ambitious district attorney charges Polly Bodine (Emelin’s sister-in-law) with a double homicide, the new “penny press” explodes. Polly is a perfect media villain: she’s a separated wife who drinks gin, commits adultery, and has had multiple abortions. Between June 1844 and April 1846, the nation was enthralled by her three trials—in Staten Island, Manhattan, and Newburgh—for the “Christmas murders.”
After Polly’s legal dream team entered the fray, the press and the public debated not only her guilt, but her character and fate as a fallen woman in society. Public opinion split into different camps over her case. Edgar Allen Poe and Walt Whitman covered her case as young newsmen. P. T. Barnum made a circus out of it. James Fenimore Cooper’s last novel was inspired by her trials.
The Witch of New York is the first narrative history about the dueling trial lawyers, ruthless newsmen, and shameless hucksters who turned the Polly Bodine case into America’s formative tabloid trial. An origin story of how America became addicted to sensationalized reporting of criminal trials, The Witch of New York vividly reconstructs an epic mystery from Old New York—and uses the Bodine case to challenge our system of tabloid justice of today.
