More DescriptionDifferentiated book* It has a historical context with research of the time-The Man Made World. Or, Our Androcentric Culture by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.In this inquisitive critique of "androcentric culture," feminist pioneer Charlotte Perkins Gilman cleverly and insightfully analyzes the many negative effects of male domination, not only on women in particular, but on the well-being of the human race in general. The society's long history of male hegemony and female subordination has not enhanced the natural qualities of the human race, but has distorted them, Gilman says, as can be seen in many of the institutions of society. In separate chapters, he discusses family, art, literature, games and sports, ethics and religion, education, fashion, law and government, crime and punishment, politics and war, and industry and the economy. In each case, she shows how the dominant male influence has caused serious problems.Charlotte Perkins Gilman.Charlotte Anna Perkins (Hartford, Connecticut, July 3, 1860 - Pasadena, California, August 17, 1935), was a multidisciplinary American intellectual, very active in defending women's civil rights between the late 1890s and mid-1920s .
