    The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.

    Only as we live, think, feel, and work outside the home, do we become humanly developed, civilized, socialized.
    —Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)

    The fact that women in the home have shut themselves away from the thought and life of the world has done much to retard progress. We fill the world with the children of 20th century A.D. fathers and 20th century B.C. mothers.
    —Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
