I read it 2 years ago as part of my pre degree course. I found it hard going, but at the end, you feel you are truly inside the head of that poor woman. Apparently, Perkins Gilman sent a copy of The Yellow Wallpaper to the doctor who was prescribing all of that overt infantalising therapy. He was said to have stopped the procedures on the strength of that story.

I think I would go nutty if I was restrained from doing anything, but most of all reading and writing.

Thanks for stopping by :-)
