The University of Rochester has recently acquired a collection of personal letters from feminist reformer and author Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Though best known for writings, Gilman was also a trained artist and illustrator, and the new collection includes 15 of her uncredited illustrated trade cards. These cards served as popular advertisements after the Civil War, and the entire collection of these cards and Gilman's personal letters is now available online through the University's Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation.
