Abstract
Bookish charlotte gilman, with the deft turn of phrase, and flamboyant victoria woodhull, shunning social convention: on the surface these are two very different women. But in fact, they were near-contemporaries who influenced important issues of their day and helped fuel dialog and debate about issues we are still discussing today.
charlotte gilman is an admirable figure because she was bravely out of sync with her time, and not afraid to explore women's issues in a way that few of her contemporaries were doing. gilman grew up fairly isolated from others except for the company of her provocative aunts from the Beecher clan, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin (gilman 1972).
