This was required reading in high school and I've liked it ever since. Ten years after first reading it, I tracked down a copy at a local thrift shop and re-read it. The afterword by Elaine R. Hedges puts a whole new spin on it--I saw where the author drew from in order to write this piece. Good, solid writing.
Fabulous read!

A classic of women's literature, reprinted here with an excellent afterword by Elaine R. Hedges. Recommended reading!
The book takes thought and depth to truly appreciate it. The Yellow Wallpaper explores mental illness during an era that didn't understand it. Post Partum came to my mind on completing this book. I liked it but it's a book I would save and reread.
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is one of my favorite stories because it is sooooo well written.
It is an early feminist story. So, if ou like that, ou will like this story. I got this copy to share with a friend. Enjoy!!!

MANDATORY reading for all women. This is an amazing book and still rings faintly true today. I am afraid those bells are ringing louder.
Do not be scared away by the fact that it is published by the Feminist Press. It is very readable.
The story deals with a couples' relationship.
Notes, scholarly discussion.
