This is one of those reads that entirely get ahold of your attention, your psyche even, and force you into a deep esoteric burrow, fumbling on your way to some sort of escape or release. It is not an easy read. Not in the sense of language or the way it was written. The language and the control of the language are both fine. It is, however, a very hard read because of the topics and the allegories. Without wanting to give away much, the fact alone that it was written by a woman before 1900 and it deals with matters that may still be societal and medical taboo (at least in some places), is nothing short of exceptional; ground breaking, thought provoking, horizon expanding.
5/5

Creepy, haunting and well narrated. The woman definitely goes through an emotionally taxing time 🥲

We despise John, by the way!

Lastly, the edition that I read included a selection of Perkins Gilman's poetry. While not nearly as well done and readable as The Yellow Wallpaper, the poems do contextualize the story.
