'The Yellow Wallpaper'; with 'Woman', Gilman's acclaimed feminist poetry (Aziloth Books)

Více o knize

Exploring themes of mental health and gender inequality, the narrative follows a young woman suffering from postpartum depression, confined to a room as part of a misguided "rest cure." Her obsession with the room's yellow wallpaper symbolizes her struggle against societal constraints and personal entrapment. As she descends into madness, she perceives herself and other women as trapped within the wallpaper's chaotic patterns. The story serves as a powerful critique of the oppressive norms of the late 19th century, reflecting Gilman's own experiences and advocating for female emancipation.
