ree_mvd 's review for:
The Yellow Wallpaper
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
This story was maddening in more ways than one. A sorry tale of a mentally-ill women who is not listened to by the men and physicians in her life, who is shut away in an attic ("for her own good") with nothing to do, and who slowly descends into madness.
All I could think of while reading this book is how much relevance this story still holds in our modern day. While we dont lock women up in attics anymore (yay for us), many women are still often not given an equal voice, many women are still shouldering the majority of domestic duties and mental load at home, and many women are still being invalidated or dismissed by their doctors or male partners. *sigh*
This one hit hard for me. In case you couldn't already tell.
