She has just given birth to their child. He labels her postpartum depression as »hysteria.« He rents the attic in an old country house. Here, she is to rest alone – forbidden to leave her room. Instead of improving, she starts hallucinating, imagining herself crawling with other women behind the room's yellow wallpaper. And secretly, she records her experiences. The Yellow Wall-Paper [1892] is the short but intense, Gothic horror story, written as a diary, about a woman in an attic – imprisoned in her gender; by the story. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist novella was long overlooked in American literary history. Nowadays, it is counted among the classics. CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN (1860–1935), born in Hartford, Connecticut, was an American feminist theorist, sociologist, novelist, short story writer, poet, and playwright. Her writings are precursors to many later feminist theories. With her radical life attitude, Perkins Gilman has been an inspiration for many generations of feminists in the USA. Her most famous work is the short story The Yellow Wall-Paper [1892], written when she suffered from postpartum psychosis.
Andrew is a troubled youth in search of direction. He finds himself groping to find his place in the face of numerous frustrations - frustrations that include trying to overcome a domineering Father who has very specific ideas about Andrew's future. In the midst of many social upheavals, Andrew must also deal with incipient homosexuality that later overtakes his life. Despite trying to throw over his Father's yoke, there is a residue of needing to please him and hope for his approval. Andrew's Mom had always thought that he would be a late bloomer and over time that would prove to be the accurate truth. Reflections had long been an inborn part of Andrew's personality and he would eventually find it cathartic to go back and explore all of it out loud and reflect on a varied and difficult past.
In this collection of essays, Florence King confirms her position as one of the wittiest social critics now writing-and certainly the most uninhibited. Nothing escapes her withering gaze, from our greatest national institution ("Democrazy"), to the cult of Helpism ("Does Your Child Taste Salty?"), to the rules of historical romance writing ("Sex and the Saxon Churl"). If caring 'n' compassion are getting you down, open this book for a refreshing whiff of vitriol.
