ESSAY ON: Charlotte Perkins Gilman/An Example of Heroism

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page research paper that argues that Gilman's life constitutes an example of heroism. Heroism is often equated with fighting in battle. While this is certainly brave, the soldier receives tremendous societal reinforcement and approval for such bravery. Heroism is also shown by those who go against the dictums of society and face social rejection and ostracism. It takes intense bravery and is extremely heroic to stand against societal mores and concepts that are widely accepted and say "This is wrong." In the nineteenth century, Charlotte Perkins Gilman took a stand diametrically opposed to the way in which women were treated during the Victorian era. Bibliography lists 1 source.
