Summary
This collection brings together 12 of the finest short stories of prominent American feminist author Charlotte Perkins Gilman. "The Yellow Wallpaper", Gilman's best-known work, was first published in 1892 and represents an important examination of 19th-century attitudes toward women's physical and mental health. Written as a collection of journal entries by a woman whose physician husband has confined her to her bedroom, the story depicts the narrator's descent into psychosis as her confinement gradually erodes her sanity.
This collection also includes the stories "The Giant Wistaria", "According to Solomon", "The Boys and the Butter", "Her Housekeeper", "Martha's Mother", "A Middle-Sized Artist", "An Offender", "When I Was a Witch", "The Cottagette", "Making a Living", and "Mr. Robert Grey Sr."

A diamond collection!
I am so lucky I saw a passing reference to The Yellow Wallpaper in social media and felt curious... What a magnificent collection of short stories, so original and creative! She must have been a remarkable woman to infuse her stories with so much feminist thinking, grounded in an appeal for equaility of opportunity for both sexes. Her tales are both thrilling and rich with musings about how a male dominated society harms the lives of both men and women. We need more authors like her today.
