Beschreibung

First published in 1892, The Yellow Wall-Paper is written as the secret journal of a woman who, failing to relish the joys of marriage and motherhood, is sentenced to a country rest cure. Though she longs to write, her husband and doctor forbid it, prescribing instead complete passivity. Narrated with superb psychological and dramatic precision, this short but powerful masterpiece has the heroine create a reality of her own within the hypnotic pattern of the faded yellow wall-paper of her bedrooma pattern that comes to symbolize her own imprisonment.

This key women's studies text by a pivotal first-wave feminist writer, lecturer, and activist (1860-1935) is reprinted as it first appeared in New England Magazine in 1892, and contains the essential essay on the author's life and work by pioneering Gilman scholar Elaine R. Hedges.

Can you blame my girly to decend into madness when she is treated the way she is by her wanker of a husband? And on top of it she has to look day and night at this ugly as shade of yellow wallpaper, which I'm not convinced, hasn't grown mold. Sometimes I'm really glad that universities make you read classics. What a gem. 💛

short, scary and to the point.

"I cry at nothing, and cry most of the time." "It is a very bad habit I am convinced, for you see I don't sleep." this was interesting

I need to crawl into this wallpaper so bad, watch me fr.

Even though I knew the plot, I was still surprised about the ending!

Eine sehr wichtige Kurzgeschichte, die ihrer Zeit voraus ist. Must read

Gelb.

Das G in Gilman steht für Genius, absolute Avantgardistin ihrer Zeit. Eine schöne, ein wenig herzzerbrechende Kritik an der männlich gemachten Welt, die sogar >130 Jahre später noch erschreckend wahr geblieben ist. Starke 9/10.

Feminismus von 1892, we love it <3 Wer braucht Hamlet als Schullektüre, wenn man The Yellow Wallpaper lesen könnte!?! Diese Kurzgeschichte zeigt allen die sagen, Frauen hätten damals nur sehr wenig und schon gar nichts von Belang oder mit emotionaler Tiefe geschrieben, den Mittelfinger. Sprachlich, erzählerisch und inhaltlich eine der besten und bewegendsten Kurzgeschichten, die ich je gelesen habe!!

4

A short story and a quick read qhich was quite "creepy" indeed!

5

Extremely strong and eerie, I’m glad this was just a few pages because I wouldn’t have been able to bear it much longer.
