For an old book, this sure does stand the test of time. Really just sad that women’s health issues are STILL not taken seriously. I think Charlotte would be disappointed to hear that scientists only JUST started testing period products on REAL blood.
Despite being really short, I think it explores the alienation of women struggling with health issues perfectly. Never taken seriously and completely shrugged off as either being pregnant or a side effect of birth control.
The ending was a little too abrupt for me, I would have preferred the book be longer so we could delve further and further into the madness, it just felt like the story wasn’t fully fleshed out :(

Not only was the story interesting, but the introduction, "Why I wrote the Yellow Wallpaper," was eye-opening. I suffer from depression, just as the author and the story's character did. The author wrote about what treatment had been recommended for her (the "rest" treatment with very little interaction and no writing), and it made her worse instead of better. She wrote this story to theorize what could have happened if she had stuck with the treatment. I had been resting quite a bit, and my depression was getting worse. I could easily see me slipping into the insanity that the story's character did, so I'm doing my best to not rest quite so much and to keep my mind active. It's a quick read (even with the introduction), and I think it's worthwhile for anyone who has depression and those who care for someone who's depressive.
