=== "''The Forerunner''," === {{Main|Forerunner (magazine)}} [[File:The ForeRunner (1913) Charlotte Perkins Gilman.jpg|thumb|1913 issue of ''[[The Forerunner]]'']] From 1909 to 1916 Gilman single-handedly wrote and edited her own magazine, ''The Forerunner'', in which much of her fiction appeared. By presenting material in her magazine that would "stimulate thought", "arouse hope, courage and impatience", and "express ideas which need a special medium", she aimed to go against the mainstream media which was overly [[Sensationalism|sensational]].<ref>Sari Edelstein, "Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the Yellow Newspaper". ''Legacy'', 24(1), 72β92. Retrieved October 28, 2008, from GenderWatch (GW) database. (Document ID: 1298797291).</ref> Over seven years and two months the magazine produced eighty-six issues, each twenty eight pages long. The magazine had nearly 1,500 subscribers and featured such [[Serial (literature)|serialized]] works as "What Diantha Did" (1910), ''The Crux'' (1911), ''[[Moving the Mountain (novel)|Moving the Mountain]]'' (1911), and ''[[Herland (novel)|Herland]]'' (1915). The ''Forerunner'' has been cited as being "perhaps the greatest literary accomplishment of her long career".<ref>Knight, ''Diaries'', 812.</ref> After its seven years, she wrote hundreds of articles that were submitted to the ''[[Louisville Herald-Post|Louisville Herald]]'', ''[[The Baltimore Sun]]'', and the ''[[Buffalo Evening News]]''. Her autobiography, ''The Living of Charlotte Perkins Gilman'', which she began to write in 1925, was published [[Posthumous publication|posthumously]] in 1935.<ref>Allen, ''Building Domestic Liberty'', 30.</ref>
