It would have saved trouble had I remained Perkins from the first, this changing of women's names is a nuisance we are now happily outgrowing.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

[Warfare is] maleness in its a...

[Warfare is] maleness in its absurdest extremes. Here is to be studied the whole gamut of basic masculinity, from the initial instinct of combat, through every form of glorious ostentation, with the loudest accompaniment of noise.

Fine blunderers in ethics we are, so generally conveying to children the basic impression that pleasantness must be wrong, and right doing unpleasant!

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

If only religion could be brou...

If only religion could be brought to take an interest in this earthly future, what a help it would be! ... Think of the appeal to the less spiritual of us, to those who never did get enthusiastic about eternity, or care so tenderly about their own souls, yet who could rise to the thought of improving this world for the children they love, and their children after them.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

No matter what the belief, if ...

No matter what the belief, if it had modestly said, 'This is our best thought, go on, think farther!' then we could have smoothly outgrown our early errors and long since have developed a religion such as would have kept pace with an advancing world. But we were made to believe and not allowed to think. We were told to obey, rather than to experiment and investigate.

What we do modifies us more than what is done to us.

Not woman, but the condition of woman, has always been a doorway of evil.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

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.

To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse.

There should be an end to the bitterness of feeling which has arisen between the sexes in this century.

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.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

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.

For men obsessed with women's underwear, a course in washing, ironing and mending is recommended.

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.

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.

Until we see what we are, we cannot take steps to become what we should be.

Where young boys plan for what they will achieve and attain, young girls plan for whom they will achieve and attain.

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.

Charlotte Gilman 125 quotes

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

While we flatter ourselves that things remain the same, they are changing under our very eyes from year to year, from day to day.
