Charlotte Anna Perkins , fue una intelectual estadounidense multidisciplinar, muy activa en defensa de los derechos civiles de las mujeres entre finales de 1890 y mediados de 1920. Su obra más conocida es El papel pintado amarillo[1] publicada en 1892, un relato breve con tintes autobiográficos escrito tras una profunda depresión postparto. Su utopía Herland , es considerada la precursora de la ciencia-ficción feminista moderna. Su figura servirá de modelo para futuras generaciones de mujeres debido a sus ideas y su estilo de vida poco ortodoxo para la época. Wikipedia
