The Yellow Wallpaper is a very short, but very interesting, story of a woman who has been taken away for some fresh air and sunshine to cure her depression. It's a fascinating look into how the nineteenth century both treated women and mental illness, and makes for a great work of early feminism

A welcome feminist point of view.

As I read another book written more than 100 years ago I was once again impressed by the currency of the ideas and writing. This is a feminist book, the first of Ms. Perkins Gilman's that I have read and won't be the last.
