The Man-Made World or, Our Androcentric Culture
Charlton Company, 1911.
Gilman’s incisive feminist treatise, in which she dissects the cultural consequences of male-centered thought across art, ethics, politics, and industry. Gilman’s prose is lucid, satirical, and unflinching—arguing for a rebalancing of Western civilization through the lens of gender equity.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a leading figure in the early feminist movement in the United States, known for challenging the gender norms of her time through her writings.
This is an important and uncommon first edition of one of Gilman's most ambitious and influential works.
