“The Yellow Wallpaper,” the first story in this collection, is a reread for me, but it always affects me. I think it‘s the repetition of the MC‘s fixation that sort of dizzies me as I‘m reading it, a powerful device. In a separate piece, Gilman writes about her own experience with this type of rest treatment and the detrimental effects it had on her. It‘s a perfect example of a story engaging the reader with an idea without preaching.
This came in at work today. My friend wanted me to read Herland which is one of the stories in this book. Has anyone read her work? I've already read Yellow Wallpaper.
"Exciting literature after supper is not the best digestive." Not sure where this Gilman quote actually comes from. It is in the calendar I bought on impulse yesterday, The Reading Woman. So many interesting quotes and beautiful paintings of women reading, such as this one.
You're going to have to squint a bit, because my interpretation of pink was pretty broad (by necessity!). But here are most of the greens and pinks in my collection. #bookphotochallenge #augustofpages
