The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
3.0
i think that this was an interesting short story to read, and it left me thinking for quite a bit afterwards. essentially, the narrator talks about how she is taken to the countryside to recover from some illness. once she's there, she stays in a room with yellow wallpaper, and the plot unravels from there as she alludes to her marriage, her place in society, gender roles and expectations, and illness narratives.
i genuinely think that this is a good short story that masterfully uses the limitations of its format. however, i think that this just didn't speak to me like i thought it would. still highly recommend to read though!
