Summary:

This study offers an investigation of a selection of Gilman's short stories in the light of her assertion that women do not have to give up love or work in order to succeed in life. Yet, as this study proves, the problem with this ideology is that although 'both' embodies two elements - love and work, there are in fact three factors operating within the equation - marriage, motherhood, and professional life.
