Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Man-Made World is a 1911 book-length essay about what she calls "our androcentric culture." By this she means a culture built mostly for the convenience of one gender and which disregards the other; a culture in which the male is seen as the default and the female as a deviation from the norm. Gilman carefully analyses the consequences of this patriarchal culture on several areas, including the family, health and beauty, art and literature, education, ethics, religion, law and government, politics, economics, and so on.

During this period we have had almost universally what is here called an Androcentric Culture. The history, such as it was, was made and written by men. The mental, the mechanical, the social development, was almost wholly theirs. We have, so far, lived and suffered and died in a man-made world

In this probing critique of "androcentric culture," pioneering feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman analyzes with wit and insight the many negative effects of male domination, not only on women in particular but on the welfare of the human race as a whole. Society's long history of male hegemony and female subservience has not enhanced the natural qualities of the human race but rather distorted them, says Gilman, as can be seen in many of society's institutions. In separate chapters she discusses family, art, literature, games and sports, ethics and religion, education, fashion, law and government, crime and punishment, politics and warfare, and industry and economics. In each case she shows how the domineering male influence has caused grievous problems.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Man Made World. Or, Our Androcentric Culture by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.In this inquisitive critique of "androcentric culture," feminist pioneer Charlotte Perkins Gilman cleverly and insightfully analyzes the many negative effects of male domination, not only on women in particular, but on the well-being of the human race in general. The society's long history of male hegemony and female subordination has not enhanced the natural qualities of the human race, but has distorted them, Gilman says, as can be seen in many of the institutions of society. In separate chapters, he discusses family, art, literature, games and sports, ethics and religion, education, fashion, law and government, crime and punishment, politics and war, and industry and the economy. In each case, she shows how the dominant male influence has caused serious problems.Charlotte Perkins Gilman.Charlotte Anna Perkins (Hartford, Connecticut, July 3, 1860 - Pasadena, California, August 17, 1935), was a multidisciplinary American intellectual, very active in defending women's civil rights between the late 1890s and mid-1920s .
