 Charlotte Perkins Gilman committed suicide on August 17, 1935.

* Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
* To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind.
* There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. As well speak of a female liver.
