Download The Yellow Wallpaper Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I read this back in my Gothic Literature course in college. I loved it then and I love it now. This short story is a wonderful commentary of what was considered to be a woman's role in the 1890s and the frailty of the human psyche. "

" Another book where "liked/disliked" doesn't really match up to how much impact the book had. I didn't really like it, but it stuck with me. Being trapped in your room with nothing but this horrible yellow wallpaper to look at, and feeling your sanity slip. "

" Very interesting perspective on how women were treated back then.....LOVED TO DEATH? "

" Love this one! It's little wonder that this work always seems to make it into American Lit anthologies. As someone who can quite literally feel her sanity slipping away at times...it's nice to see what's in store for me :) "

" Victorian woman in nervous breakdown. 29 pages. -- Very effective "

" It begins in a relatable way, since we've all stared at something long enough to dissect and analyze it. But she gets further and further into a state of dementia, but because of the perspective it's written you are almost following along with her. almost. and then not at all. it's creepy but very well executed. "

" This is a collection of stories and among them "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a stunning masterpiece. The rest though are short, didactic pieces I didn't quite enjoy. Do read them if you're interested in first wave feminism writing; Gilman is a great example of this. If you're not, just read the first story and you'll be more than satisfied. "

" actually just read "The Yellow Wallpaper" (as a freebie on my Kindle) which is a terrific short story. "

" I love The Yellow Wallpaper!!! One of my face's from college! We spent two weeks discussing this story! A Must read! "

" A story that bluntly describes all that was wrong with the Victorian feminine ideal. "

" This is a good look into what its like to be trapped with a mental disorder with no creative release. Really good book! "

" Really enjoyed the short stories, Herland was fine though really unsubtle - kind of a fun read though, ended up skipping most of Women and Economics "

" I think I had to read this in college... I remember really liking it at the time. "

" I read this for a Women and Society class in college. Loved the class even though I was a paranoid mess for weeks! "

" If you actually imagine her creeping naked around the periphery of the room, it's creepy as hell. "

" Tamara says, "100% creepy and yet 100% realistic. Ack." "

" I loved the yellow wallpaper but the other stories included were a bit of a dissapointment. "

" the yellow wallpaper was the creepiest story ever!!!!!! "

" One of the most creepy stories I have ever read. I would recommend this short story to any woman ages 16 and up. "

" The first time I read this I was eleven or twelve. It stuck with me, but I don't think it was until much later when I read it again that I realized how chilling it really is. "

" important psychology feminist text on socially induced mental illness. "

" One of my favorite "ghost stories" which is actually a feminist parable in disguise ( not very subtle in this though). It really is creepy and disturbing. "

" This a is a short but very good story. It's not scary by any traditional means but it does have that creepy factor that comes with someone going mad while you're "watching". Definitely worth the read. "
