Charlotte Perkins Gilman è stata una sociologa, scrittrice e poetessa statunitense, e un'importante femminista utopista.
Per le sue idee e il suo stile di vita non convenzionali, è diventata un modello per le future generazioni femministe. La sua opera maggiormente conosciuta è La carta da parati gialla , un racconto semi-autobiografico che scrisse dopo un duro periodo di depressione post-partum. Wikipedia
