Our Androcentric Culture Taylor Anderson

The Man-Made World; Or, Our Androcentric Culture by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is the 1911 book that discusses feminine and masculine behavior our society. The focus is on what negative effects there are on our society because of a male dominated society. Rather than tear down masculinity, she switches to what men and women share and how all can benefit from common traits. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a notable American feminist. While she was most famous for her writings, both fiction and non-fiction, on feminism and social reform, she was also a poet, artist, magazine editor, lecturer, and social reformer. She was a great influence on modern feminism because of her view on utopian feminism and unorthodox lifestyle views.
