Beschreibung

2018 Reprint of 1892 Edition. This short story is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward women's health, both physical and mental. Presented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband (John) has rented an old mansion for the summer. Forgoing other rooms in the house, the couple moves into the upstairs nursery. As a form of treatment, the unnamed woman is forbidden from working, and is encouraged to eat well and get plenty of exercise and air, so she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency", a diagnosis common to women in that period. Gilman used her writing to explore the role of women in America at the time. She explored issues such as the lack of a life outside the home and the oppressive forces of the patriarchal society. Through her work Gilman paved the way for writers such as Alice Walker and Sylvia Plath.

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. 💛

"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

short, scary and to the point.

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

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!!

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.

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

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.
