They have short hair, their manner of dress is based on comfort and function, they are naturally athletic and physically strong, they are all highly educated and have specialized jobs in the community, their self-esteem is not dependent on validation by men, and they are assertive in setting and maintaining boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharlotte Gilman\u003c\/strong\u003e was a prominent American sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and non fiction, and a lecturer for social reform.
