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.

Perfect length for a story like this. First couple pages are very mundane, almost boring, and then BAM the weirdness starts. I wouldn't call it a plot twist but the ending did surprise me.
