In our steady insistence on proclaiming sex-distinction we have grown to consider most human attributes as masculine attributes, for the simple reason that they were allowed to men and forbidden to women.

The people people have for friends
Your common sense appall
But the people people marry
Are the queerest folk of all.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

Woman' in the abstract is you...

Woman' in the abstract is young, and, we assume, charming. As they get older they pass off the stage, somehow, into private ownership mostly, or out of it altogether.

A man's honor always seems to want to kill a woman to satisfy it.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

We all need one another; much ...

We all need one another; much and often. Just as every human creature needs a place to be alone in, a sacred, private 'home' of his own, so all human creatures need a place to be together in, from the two who can show each other their souls uninterruptedly, to the largest throng that can throb and stir in unison.

Architecture might be more sportive and varied if every man built his own house, but it would not be the art and science that we have made it; and while every woman prepares food for her own family, cooking can never rise beyond the level of the amateur's work.

The fact that women in the home have shut themselves away from the thought and life of the world has done much to retard progress.We fill the world with the children of 20th century A.D. fathers and 20th century B.C. mothers.

To work is not only a right, it is a duty. To work to the full capacity of one's powers is necessary for human development - the full use of one's best faculties - this is the health and happiness for both man and woman.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

If fifty men did all the work,...

If fifty men did all the work, / And gave the price to five, / And let those five make all the rules - / You'd say the fifty men were fools, / Unfit to be alive.

The home is a human institution. All human institutions are open to improvement.

The original necessity for the...

The original necessity for the ceaseless presence of the woman to maintain that altar fire - and it was an altar fire in very truth at one period - has passed with the means of prompt ignition; the matchbox has freed the housewife from that incessant service, but the feeling that women should stay at home is with us yet.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

The best proof of man's dissatisfaction with the home is found in his universal absence from it.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

At any given period in history the ideas of the common mind are found to antedate the facts. The facts of the twentieth century are approached with the ideas, feelings, prejudices of the tenth.
