[Gilman-l] Quote query

[Denise Knight]

Hi Mary,
 
Are you sure it's a Gilman quote?  It doesn't ring a bell. However, Rebecca West said something very much like that in 1913:  "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat." 
 
Best wishes,
Denise Knight

	I am trying to find what I believe is a fairly famous quote by Charlotte
	Perkins Gilman where she says something to the effect that if she speaks
	out more than would a doormat she is disparaged. Do you have a
	recollection of such a quote? Or where I might find it? Thank you very
	much for any ideas – 
	
	With best regards,
