I knew before reading Herland that the views of feminism would be outdated but the book actually shows the authors views. Perkins Gilman was racist who supported eugenics and you can see it clearly whilst reading Herland. The yellow wallpaper was good, a short story written in the form of diary entries from a women suffering from postpartum depression not getting the help that she needs and as the book goes along it’s clear the women is going into psychosis
