Specifically‚ Charlotte Perkins Gilman called for social change regarding mental health practices on women. Gilman’s significant use of autobiographical experiences made a deep impact on readers. In fact‚ the “rest cure” Gilman discusses in the story was an actual technique used to treat her depression. Gilman‚ in her response as to why she wrote the story‚ states “This wise man… applied the rest cure… and sent me home with solemn advice to "live as domestic a life as far as possible‚" to "have

Significant differences‚ of course‚ include the greater freedom (she is childless) and professional training (she can support herself) of the wife‚ Mrs. Marroner‚ in "Turned."

Since the early ages‚ people have been dreaming of creating a perfect place‚ a place where everyone is going to be satisfied. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was one of the many authors who developed these utopian ideas in their works. In 1915 she wrote a short novel Herland about an utopian maternal community.
