postpartum depression. psychosis. a protest against patriarchal structures of society by a woman ultimately trapped by them. a lack of freedom, autonomy, liberation. physical and mental claustrophobia. a stunning, concise yet multifaceted story. brimming with meaning, protest, social commentary. really great.

A masterclass in feminist horror. How easily we trap women under the mask of care.

fuck the patriarchy

so interesting that men thought that taking away what little autonomy women had left would cure of them of their “hysteria”… it’s so interesting to read this story today when we have much more knowledge about mental health, depression, and particularly post partum depression.
