alexa, play mad woman by taylor swift

trovato totalmente a caso e amato.

Da, Perché ho scritto La carta da parati gialla:
"Questo libriccino è stato apprezzato dagli psichiatri, e considerato come un buon esempio di un certo tipo di letteratura. Che io sappia, ha salvato una donna da un destino simile – terrorizzando a tal punto la famiglia che l’ha lasciata libera di dedicarsi alle sue normali attività, e in questo modo è riuscita a guarire.
Ma il miglior risultato è questo. Molti anni dopo mi è stato detto che il grande specialista aveva ammesso con gli amici di aver modificato il suo trattamento della nevrastenia dopo aver letto La carta da parati gialla.
Il racconto non aveva lo scopo di far impazzire le persone, ma di impedire che venissero indotte alla pazzia, e ha funzionato".

Incredible depiction of depression in a woman's mind, extremely accurate. Tough and emotional read.

If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do?

A hard one to digest, seeing a perfectly fine woman going through a hard time that is the puerperium, being looked at and treated as a hysterical 'crazy' woman was tough.
What an amazing way to display to a sick society in a "read between the lines" kind of way, Charlotte Perkins has found at the time!
Amazing!

I loved this book. I can’t believe it took me so long to read this classic. I know a lot of people encountered this book at school but it seems like my school did an entirely different set of books than everyone else. I feel like this book captured mental illness extremely well and I was captivated by the descriptions in this book. I would definitely recommend this.

ahh gilman is now one of my favourite authors :p !!
