Abstract
Feminist and social economist Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s ‘Women and Economics’ relates her views concerning mothering and social interdependence. She believed that liberated women should accomplish their social roles of being happy, productive and educated mothers. Gilman also stressed the importance of obtaining individual economic independence and fulfillment in a restructured social structure.
