Explore "Human Work" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Work is in two main lines, Production and Distribution; to make something, or to hand it about, is human industry.
To create is an intense satisfaction; to combine elements and produce new results, whether it be a bridge, a basket, or a loaf of bread-to make is in itself a joy. But so is it a joy to give something to somebody, whether at first-hand, or in a combination with many; to spread, to disseminate, to feel the current of human good flow through you; both functions are happy.
