Synopsis

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Collected Works' presents a comprehensive anthology of her writings, showcasing her influential contributions to feminist thought and social reform at the turn of the 20th century. This collection includes her seminal short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper," along with essays, poems, and critiques that deftly explore themes of gender, identity, and mental health within a society marked by patriarchal restraints. Gilman's literary style—marked by a sharp, poignant prose intermixed with rich symbolism—encapsulates the struggles of women seeking autonomy and self-identity in a rapidly changing world. Born in 1860 and a prolific writer, Gilman was a prominent advocate for women's rights, drawing upon her own experiences with mental illness and confinement to craft narratives that resonate with emotional depth and societal critique. Her personal history, including a challenging marriage and eventual separation, fueled her dedication to addressing the economic and psychological oppression of women. Gilman's own life experiences imbued her writings with authenticity, allowing her to candidly explore the conflicts between societal expectations and individual freedom. 'The Collected Works' is an essential read for anyone interested in women's studies, American literature, or the historical context of feminism. It offers invaluable insights into early feminist thought and remains profoundly relevant today, inviting readers to reflect on the ongoing struggles for gender equality. Delve into this rich collection to understand the legacy of one of America's most pioneering voices.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    When I returned home from my latest deployment in the U.S. Army, my life began to fall apart. One night, after heavy drinking, I placed my 1911 pistol in my mouth and thought a prayer—silence. I deactivated the safety and began to slowly squeeze the trigger. BANG! I dropped the pistol, and I looked around me, but there was no blood. The bang I heard was the Bible on my desk falling and hitting the floor. I fell to my knees and asked God for forgiveness. I surrendered to Jesus Christ and asked him to help me. He answered.

    As a child, Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop, along with her five brothers, was raised to revere the tribal legends of the Alsop and Roosevelt families. Her parents’ marriage, lived in the spotlight of 1950s Washington where the author’s father, journalist Stewart Alsop, grew increasingly famous, was not what either of her parents had imagined it would be. Her mother’s strict Catholicism and her father’s restless ambition collided to create a strangely muted and ominous world, one that mirrored the whispered conversations in the living room as the power brokers of Washington came and went through their side door. Through it all, her mother, trained to keep secrets as a decoding agent with MI5, said very little. In this brave memoir, the author explores who her mother was, why alcohol played such an important role in her mother’s life, and why her mother held herself apart from all her children, especially her only daughter. In the author’s journey to understand her parents, particularly her mother, she comes to realize that the secrets parents keep are the ones that reverberate most powerfully in the lives of their children.

    “Many of my ardent admirers would be roundly shocked and disturbed if they realized that everything I believe is thoroughly moral, thoroughly Catholic, and that it is these beliefs that give my work its chief characteristics.” 
    —Flannery O’Connor 
    Flannery O’Connor’s work has been described as “profane, blasphemous, and outrageous.” Her stories are peopled by a sordid caravan of murderers and thieves, prostitutes and bigots whose lives are punctuated by horror and sudden violence. But perhaps the most shocking thing about Flannery O’Connor’s fiction is the fact that it is shaped by a thoroughly Christian vision. If the world she depicts is dark and terrifying, it is also the place where grace makes itself known. Her world—our world—is the stage whereon the divine comedy plays out; the freakishness and violence in O’Connor’s stories, so often mistaken for a kind of misanthropy or even nihilism, turn out to be a call to mercy. 
    In this biography, Jonathan Rogers gets at the heart of O’Connor’s work. He follows the roots of her fervent Catholicism and traces the outlines of a life marked by illness and suffering, but ultimately defined by an irrepressible joy and even hilarity. In her stories, and in her life story, Flannery O’Connor extends a hand in the dark, warning and reassuring us of the terrible speed of mercy.
