I had read The Yellow Wallpaper already, but I was curious to see other works from Gilman. She's AMAZING. Not only is every story full of feminist punch, they're also very funny. Her sense of humor is endlessly charming. My favorite in the collection was "When I Was a Witch," which I laughed almost all the way through and then was surprisingly touched by its conclusion.

Highly recommend! The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story about how mental health, especially depression and possible post partum, was dealt with at the turn of the century and how “little ladies” were dealt with off handed and thought hysterics. How the treatment itself led to full blown insanity. The other stories are about strong women during that time period and how that dealt with everyday life.

The narrative is only 6,000 words long and is from the perspective of a woman whose name is not given.
