    GLASGOW, Ellen [Charlotte Perkins Gilman].

    Virginia.

    Garden City, New York: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1913.

    First edition of this socially groundbreaking novel; from the library of writer and social reformer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Octavo, original red cloth, frontispiece portrait of the titular character, Virginia. Signed by Gilman on the front flyleaf. Gilman was an American humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate, and eugenicist who served as a role model for future generations of utopian feminists. Best known for her semi-autobiographical short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper,' which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis, Gilman has written works on gender and male domination that continue to maintain their relevance in today's society. In good condition with dampstaining to the front panel, light toning to the front flyleaf. An exceptional association copy.
