" reading this on Dailylit-delivered to my email each day "

" I think this short story is a pretty good story overall. It has a very interesting story and makes you wonder what her illness is throughout it. I would defiantly recommend this book. "

" A sadly, touching short story about the effects of confinement on women of the 19th century who were diagnosed with hysteria. The way women were treated in the past makes me wonder if I'm not just a bit nutty and what would have happened to me if I were born in a different time. "

" I can relate to the main character some days . . . that's not a good thing. "

" The short stories have their flaws but nevertheless, they are inspiring, ambitious and bold (for that age). I've been recommending this book around to my friends and family and this will stay in my favorite for a long long while. "

" This book clearly the effects that post-partum has on a woman. "

" Five stars because it transports me back to middle school. One of the first pieces of literature that blew my mind because of its psychological implications. "

" No one really wants to read about how oppressed people were in the Victorian Age, but when you think about it, your entire bedroom means something to you. Even if you hate it. "

" I was introduced to Gilman in my high school years. What a joy to find her again in audiobook. Thank you. "

" "The Yellow Wallpaper" is one of my favorite short stories ever. It was really interesting to read more of her work. She was quite a visionary regarding the "woman's place" for her time period, no wonder she went mad. But then again, all the best people are. ;) "

" Creepy and I did not get it. "

" This book is fantastic. It is a really quick and easy read but is just so good. "

" I was introduced to this book in a class on mental health and literature as part of the MSSW program. This is an excellent depiction of psychosis from the point of view of the person with psychosis. "

" A well-written short story with tons of underlying themes to pick apart. As I read this, I kept thinking how this would actually be fun to perform as a monologue. "

" I Absolutely Loved Every Page Of It! "

" I loved The Yellow Wallpaper in high school, yet never read more of Gilman's works. I really enjoyed her short stories - although none were are morbid as The Yellow Wallpaper. I'm grateful for early feminists like Gilman. I hope I will be as courageous in my life. "

" This amazing collection of stories, all written by women in the 1800's, reveal the culture for women at that time. We've come a long way, baby! "

" The short stories were pretty cool but I pretty much zoned out through the whole feminist part. Mostly because it's in no way relevant to this era of feminism. "

" A truly chilling look into the effect isolation can have on a mentally troubled person. This story terrified me when I read it in high school, and I have to give it at least some credit for defining the niche of horror I tend to write in the most. "

" Never mind the Feminine Mystique. This should be Number ONE on top of every feminist's reading list! The Yellow Wallpaper is a brilliant Gothic account of a Victorian woman's descent into psychological madness. Many years later, the novella still remains vivid and visceral in my mind. "

" My first exploration of feminist literature... I have to thank my English 102 prof for this gift; without this, I'd have never read Herland, and what a dish of a book that one is! The Yellow Wallpaper is one of my favourite short stories of all time! Madness will never be portrayed so elegantly. "

" "The Yellow Wallpaper" is an extremely well-written short story that vividly depicts a young mother's descent from post-partum depression into full-blown psychosis. Powerful, disturbing, and a bit creepy. "
