Sozialkritik als Gothic Novel und ein utopischer Roman gegen Diskriminierung
Charlotte Perkins Gilmans einflussreichste Werke in einem Band: Mit der feministischen Horrorerzählung »Die gelbe Tapete« gelang ihr 1892 der Durchbruch. Eine junge Frau wird nach der Geburt ihres Kindes zu strikter Schonung verdammt, im Bett einer Dachkammer mit vergitterten Fenstern soll sie sich erholen, von ihrem Ehemann und dem Arzt streng überwacht. Doch die Muster der Wandtapete führen ein unheilvolles Eigenleben ... In Gilmans utopischem Roman »Herland« brechen drei abenteuerlustige Männer auf zu einem geheimnisvollen »Frauenland«; die Realität der friedlichen Frauengesellschaft wird das Welt- und vor allem Frauenbild der drei für immer verändern. Als erste klassisch feministische Utopie ist »Herland« in die Literaturgeschichte eingegangen. Endlich eine deutsche Ausgabe mit beiden Schlüsseltexten der großen amerikanischen Frauenrechtlerin Aufrüttelnd, fesselnd und schnell gelesen: zwei feministische Klassiker der Weltliteratur Für Leser*innen von Edgar Allen Poe und Virginia Woolf
This new collection of short stories highlights work of early Feminist Charlotte Gilman as an editor, activist and writer. She focused on how women were not just stay-at-home mothers they were expected to be, but people who had dreams, able to travel and work as men did, and whose goals included a society where women were just as important as men.
Eine junge Frau namens Ellador entdeckt unsere Welt. Was sie entdeckt, wie sie das findet und was sie darüber denkt, diese Geschichte erzählte die Philosophin und Schriftstellerin Charlotte Perkins 1916 in ihrem Fortsetzungsroman With her in Ourland. Sie beschreibt, wie Ellador zusammen mit ihrer ersten großen Liebe Van ihre Heimat Herland verlässt und sich auf den Weg in eine viel rauere Wirklichkeit macht. Mit With her in Ourland hat Gilman ihre 1915 erschienene Geschichte Herland weitergedacht. Und indem sie das matriarchale Herland mit dem patriarchalen Ourland konfrontiert, legt sie die Problemstellen unserer Gesellschaft offen. Religion, Krieg, Sexismus sind nur einige der angesprochenen Themen. Verpackt in eine Liebesgeschichte macht Gilman Gesellschaftskritik zu einem amüsanten Leseerlebnis.
