She was also widely read, with stories in popular magazines and with dozens of books in print. Her most famous short story, the intensely personal \"The Yellow Wallpaper,\" was read as a horror story when first published in 1892 and then lapsed into obscurity before being rediscovered and reinterpreted by feminist scholars in the 1970s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNoted anthologist Barbara Solomon has put together a remarkable collection of Gilman's fiction, which includes twenty short stories and the complete text of \u003ci\u003eHerland\u003c\/i\u003e, the landmark utopian novel that remained unavailable for more than sixty years. From \"The Unexpected,\" printed in \u003ci\u003eKate Field's Washington \u003c\/i\u003ein 1890, to such later tales as \"Mrs. Elder's Idea,\" published in Gilman's own periodical, \u003ci\u003eThe Forerunner\u003c\/i\u003e, readers can again encounter this witty, original, and audacious woman who dared to challenge the status quo and who created fiction that continues to be fresh and timeless. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited and with an Introduction by Barbara H.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut, a grandniece of Harriet Beecher Stowe, she attended the Rhode Island School of Design before marrying her first husband, Charles Walter Stetson. Her mental breakdown after the birth of her daughter led to the writing of her now classic short story \"The Yellow Wallpaper.\" She left her husband in 1888 and supported herself by lecturing, editing, writing, and teaching. After she obtained a divorce, she created a public scandal by allowing her daughter to live with her ex-husband and his new wife. In 1900, she married George Houghton Gilman. Her writings include \u003ci\u003eWomen and Economics\u003c\/i\u003e (1898), hailed as \"the Bible\" of the women's movement, \u003ci\u003eConcerning Children\u003c\/i\u003e (1900), \u003ci\u003eHuman Work\u003c\/i\u003e (1904), \u003ci\u003e Man-Made World \u003c\/i\u003e(1911), and\u003ci\u003e The Living of Charlotte Perkins Gilman: An Autobiography\u003c\/i\u003e (1935).
