ah, the Yellow Wallpaper. A book I would have looked over, but ended up making a short film out of for Junior English class. keyword: insanity
It's a good read to make you uncomfortable.

4.5 average (with the novel + 19 short stories + 19 poems)
5/5 Herland (good concept reveals a lot about the feminist movement of the 19th century aka white feminist with a sprinkle of racism)
5/5 the yellow wallpaper (post partum depression rep )

Really enjoyed reading this! Unfortunately the audiobook doesn't have all the stories, though the narrator is great.
My favorites:
- The Yellow Wallpaper -- if you like Shirley Jackson as much as I do, you should like this too.
- Her Housekeeper -- A homily on how men ought to treat women.
- When I Was a Witch -- A grumpy city dweller is grumpy about all the things that she sees in the city, but suddenly her silent wishes are granted.

I got this book though I dreaded. I expected it to make me angrier; instead it just makes me sad. I also underestimated how mesmerising and, yes, short this is.
