"Taken a few years after the publication of ""The Yellow Wallpaper,"" this portrait photograph shows activist Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminine poise and respectability even as she sought massive change for women's place in society. An outspoken supporter of women's rights, Gilman's works challenged the supposedly ""natural"" inferiority of women. Her short stories, novels, and poetry have been an inspiration to feminists for over a century. Photograph, 1895. Wikimedia, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charlotte_Perkins_Gilman_3.jpg."
