If a woman is really injured by her marriage, she should sue under the employer liability act. She should claim damages--not alimony.
Charlotte Perkins GilmanFine blunderers in ethics we are, so generally conveying to children the basic impression that pleasantness must be wrong, and right doing unpleasant!
Charlotte Perkins GilmanIf we once admit that our life is here for the purpose of race-improvement, then we question any religion which does not improve the race, or the main force of which evaporates, as it were, directing our best efforts toward the sky....

It must be established on earth, either through achievement in social service, or through better children.
