Concerning Children

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's bold, clear-sighted look at how we raise the young. She questions much that parents take for granted and argues for bringing children up to be free, capable, and fully human, in the interest of the whole society. Provocative and brilliantly written, it bears the stamp of one of America's sharpest feminist minds. A challenging, invigorating classic for anyone willing to rethink childhood from the ground up.
