Gender discrimination is an issue that has been going on for millennia, influencing all societies. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Feminist Theory suggests that historically women’s isolation limited their potential to position themselves in the world. They had drastically different issues in comparison to men who could relax and entertain themselves in the organizations they created for themselves. Men did not have to be concerned about their limitations and household duties. In the conventional social channels and the foundations, men could do and accomplish what they needed. Women had to make a contribution from the sidelines, and their conceivable outcomes of affecting financial matters and society were restricted. Even now, they consistently make sure that they have a man who can uphold them to guarantee their own security. This prompts women to oppose each other, not having anything to acquire from building a career for themselves and developing connections compared to the men (Isaksson, 2020). In The Yellow Wallpaper, Gilman depicts in novel structure how the house turns into a women’s jail and how being shut in could lead to mental distress in women (Gilman, 1985).
Regardless of whether it was a social detachment that caused sickness, women were thought of, by therapists, as having weak nerves by nature, hence, more perceptive to psychological disorders. The detached conditions and the restrictions for women did not advance social advancement (Isaksson, 2020). The principal task for sociology should subsequently, as indicated by Gilman, see which underlying changes are needed to change marriage as an organization. The social orders that make a woman property and a worker of a man should be reconstructed. Eradicating women’s detachment would prompt more intelligent incitement for women, which would benefit people in general.
