COMING (THE FORERUNNER) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A young woman, isolated and alone, is subjected to a series of experiments designed to break her spirit and remake her in the image of her husband. The story is a powerful critique of patriarchal society and the ways in which women were (and continue to be) marginalized and oppressed.
