• Biographical information on Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Because it seems to be a barely useful bibliographical Harvard catalog search and not biographical. Caltrop 13:44, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Who brought up her daughter?

There seems to be conflicting text. Too Old 06:24, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

although it is somewhat unclear as written, the article does have accurate and non-conflicted information. Charlotte "separated" from her husband in 1890 (during this period she moved to california with her daughter), but she divorced her husband formally (and on good terms) in 1894... at this point, Charlotte sent her daughter to live with her husband (who had married charlotte's best friend, Grace Channing). I should probably clarify this in the article and post it with a source. Jxn 00:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bibliography section

I've added a bibliography section (btw, the 'career' section needs to be streamlined as a result) but I couldn't find a date for each of her novels on Project Gutenberg. Also, since she published 8 novels, 170 stories, 100 poems, and 200 non-fiction pieces in Frontrunner, it would be good to expand that list. Zigzig20s 07:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This article is a good start, but needs quite a lot of cleaning up. I've done some initial work in terms of wording, style, and citations, but don't know enough about Perkins Gilman yet to correct any factual problems. The language still needs quite a lot of work to get up to Wikipedia standards, and some sections (notably Critical Appreciation) clearly show the disconnected work of several authors. I've also replaced the handmade list in the References section with an actual references tag, which the page was missing despite a number of properly formatted citations. I'm not sure yet if any of the manually placed references are not included in the new list; someone may need to look into this at some point. Jlandahl 20:34, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
