"The Home: Its Work and Influence" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a sociological study written in the early 20th century. The work explores the concept of the home, its evolution, and its significant impact on society, particularly focusing on the roles of men and women within the domestic sphere. Gilman seeks to address the challenges and problems associated with traditional home life and advocates for a reevaluation of its structure and functions to align with modern societal needs. At the start of the book, Gilman offers an introductory overview of the purpose of her study, outlining a critique of the conventional perception of the home as an unassailable institution. She emphasizes that while the home is traditionally linked to comfort and sanctuary, it often presents conditions that inhibit personal growth and societal progress. Through her analysis, she aims to highlight that the changes in home life, along with outdated roles assigned to women, can be detrimental, advocating instead for a transformation that encourages greater well-being and functionality for all individuals involved.
