Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s progressive views on feminism and mental
health are powerfully showcased in her two most famous stories. The
Yellow Wallpaper skillfully charts one woman's struggle with depression
whilst Herland is an entertaining imagining of an all female utopia.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning,
clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon
markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any
book lover. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Lucy
Mangan.
Confined to her attic bedroom and isolated from her newborn baby, the
nameless narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper keeps a secret diary in which
she records the sprawling and shifting patterns of the room’s lurid
yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness. This chilling story
is based on the author’s own experience of depression. In Herland, a
trio of men set out to discover an all-female community rumoured to be
hidden deep in the jungle. What they find surprises them all; they’re
captured by women who, for two thousand years, have lived in a peaceful
and prosperous utopia without men.
