Charlotte Perkins Gilman held views that were very progressive in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and she was often a subject of scandal. The following are various quotations from Charlotte Perkins Gilman:

 

"To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind."

 

"There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. Might as well speak of a female liver."

 

"The women who do the most work get the least money, and the women who have the most money do the least work."

 

"When one is assured of unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one. "
