Obedience, argues Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is a poor substitute for judgment, and minding has a measurable effect on the mind. The author of Women and Economics turns her social intelligence on child-rearing, from the precious first ten years to the habits homes unthinkingly teach. Witty, contrary and decades early on nearly everything. Child-raising as if the future depended on it.
