The Charlotte Perkins Gilman Society was founded in 1990 by
Elaine R. Hedges and Shelley Fisher Fishkin. The
purpose of the Society is “to encourage interest in Charlotte Perkins
Gilman and the issues that she explored.” The
Society, which is officially affiliated with the American Literature
Association and the Society for the Study of American Women Writers,
fosters the formal presentation of ideas about Gilman and her work as
well as the informal exchange of information among Society members. The membership adopted bylaws governing the
Society at the annual business meeting of the Gilman Society at the
American Literature Association Conference in San Diego, CA, in May,
1998. Membership is open to anyone who
supports the purpose of the Charlotte Perkins Gilman Society. Membership dues are $5.00 per year or $75 for
a lifetime membership. The Gilman Society publishes an
annual newsletter each spring, which features short articles, a list of
recent publications, calls for papers, reviews, notes, and news. The Society also sponsors sessions at various
conferences, most notably at the annual American Literature Association
Conference. The Society sponsors an
international conference on Charlotte Perkins Gilman which takes place
every four years, commencing in 2001. Current
