Publisher's Synopsis

""Concerning Children"" is a collection of essays by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an American author, feminist, and social reformer. The book explores various aspects of child-rearing, education, and society's treatment of children. Gilman argues that children are not simply miniature adults, but rather have unique needs and perspectives that should be respected and nurtured. She also critiques traditional gender roles and the ways in which they are imposed on children, advocating for more egalitarian and progressive approaches to parenting and education. The essays cover a range of topics, from the importance of play and imagination in childhood to the harmful effects of corporal punishment and the need for social reform to improve the lives of children. Written in Gilman's clear and incisive style, ""Concerning Children"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the challenges and opportunities of raising and educating the next generation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
