The Man-Made World or Our Androcentric Culture
London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1911. First edition. Hardcover. 8vo. [6], 7-269, [1], [2] (pages of publisher's advertisements) pp. Green publisher's cloth with gold lettering and gold publisher's device on the front board, gold lettering and gold rules on the spine. Gilman's blistering critique of patriarchy: here she reflects on the unjust nature of a society which only sees a woman as a helpmate and a creature subservient to a husband or father. The author reflects on how a woman's identity is lost and subjugated to the desires of the men around her, therefore preventing her from reaching her full potential as an individual. Gilman thoughtfully explains how these issues affect the children born into families with a patriarchal structure. An influential work from the feminist and beloved literary figure. Very Good.
