New York - that unnatural city where every one is an exile, none more so than the American

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent American writer and social reformer who was known for her feminist works that challenged the traditional roles of women in society. In her writing, Gilman often explored the theme of alienation and exile, particularly in the context of the modern urban environment. One of the cities that Gilman frequently referenced in her work was New York, a bustling metropolis that she saw as a symbol of the disconnection and isolation that many people experienced in the rapidly changing world of the early 20th century.
