Making a Change

1911
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Making a Change
B

Better than average short story for Gilman, since this time there are two women who improve their lives, and the mother-in-law saves the daughter-in-law from suicide.  Also, it's an early sympathetic look at daycare.  As usual, the husband is disapproving at first, but is won over when he sees how everyone's life, including his own, is improved.  And, yes, there are details about how much things cost.
