The Man - Made Word or Our Androcentric Culture. E-book. Formato EPUB Charlotte Perkins Gilman - Youcanprint, 2019 -
This book is a liberal feminist text. The author analyzes the many negative effects of male domination, not only on women in particular but on the welfare of the human race as a whole. Rather than considering what is appropriate masculine or feminine behaviour, we should investigate what it is to be human. In separate chapters she discusses family, art, literature, games and sports, ethics and religion, education, fashion, law and government, crime and punishment, politics and warfare, and industry and economics. In each case she shows how the domineering male influence has caused grievous problems.

Presented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman (Jane) whose physician husband (John) has confined her to the upstairs bedroom of a house he has rented for the summer. She is forbidden from working and has to hide her journal from him, so she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency," a diagnosis common to women in that period. The windows of the room are barred, and there is a gate across the top of the stairs, allowing her husband to control her access to the rest of the house.
