The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story written by a woman who had a psychotic break from having absolutely nothing to do in life. I received a complimentary Kindle copy in an Amazon promotion. That did not change my opinion for this review. I gave it four stars. "Thi...
Date Published: Format: Source: Date Read: Winter COYER/24 in 48 Read-a-thon Blurb Based on the author’s own experiences, 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is the chilling tale of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by the ‘rest cure’ prescribed after the birth of her child.

*whines* It's still miserable, windy winter here!! How do I combat the chills this induced? *shudder* Whenever I read stories like this, I remember that quote "novels win by points, short stories by knock outs". I know I was already whimpering one page in. I finished with a wiki-walk and... How co...
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is one of the few things I read during my vacation that wasn't a graphic novel or manga. I downloaded it via Project Gutenberg. I think I saw a review of it on Booklikes, but I couldn't remember a thing about it. I wasn't even sure what genre it was and, since I didn't bother ...

If a physician of high standing, and one´s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency - what is one to do? "The yellow wallpaper" i...
I remember reading this for an English class in high-school. We also listened to the audio-book and the atmosphere this story created still makes me shudder. The yellow wallpaper is a short story about a woman that according to everyone around her, is suffering from depression. However, this is far ...
I watched a couple of YouTube video reviews of this book and decided to pick up a free kindle version. It is definitely creepy and I see why it's important piece of feminist literature. After I finished I had to research the book to learn more and to grasp a better understanding. I knew there was mu...
I first read this piece for an English class a couple years ago and it’s been with me ever since. It’s a fairly short read but when it’s over it still haunts you and leaves you chilled to the bone. I think that this story depicts how someone with a mental illness could feel when their illness isn’t ...
