Women and Economics - A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution is a book written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It is considered by many to be her single greatest work, and as with much of Gilman's writing, the book touched a few dominant themes: the transformation of marriage, the family, and the home, with her central argument: "the economic independence and specialization of women as essential to the improvement of marriage, motherhood, domestic industry, and racial improvement."

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was an American writer and social reformist, born in Hartford, Connecticut. She's best-known for her semi-autobiographical short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper' (1892), which is loosely based on her experience with postpartum psychosis and is now widely considered to be a seminal feminist text. Now considered a feminist role model, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1994.
