The Forerunner
Title:
The Forerunner
Description:
Feminist and writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman launched The Forerunner in November 1909, wanting an outlet to voice opinions deemed too controversial by other editors. She was the sole author, artist, and editor of its essays, fiction, poetry, and humor. The content was meant, in her own words from the first issue, “to stimulate thought, to arouse hope, courage, and impatience . . . to voice the strong assurance of better living, here, now, in our own hands to make.” The Forerunner had a modest circulation of around 1,500 subscribers, and Gilman struggled to expand readership in its seven years of publication.
