“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.
Just picked this up from the library
pickMy second novel Lemon Girl is 6th in ezvid's wiki list of "9 well-written novels that put women front & center."
Feeling so thrilled write now!
#FeministFiction
We are so thrilled that Julia Fine‘s deliciously dark and magical debut WHAT SHOULD BE WILD was selected by #BarnesandNoble as a Summer 2018 #BNDiscover pick! Called a “gothic stunner for the 21st century—provocative, luxuriant, unsettling” by #RedClocks author #LeniZumas, this is a debut not to be missed. You can pre-order at B&N here: bit.ly/JuliaFineBNDiscover

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.
Catching up on all the #feministfiction I never knew existed. ..
(it's good #bikesinSpace research, too)
I so love indie bookstores! Had a great time checking out this one today!
