Soul-wrenching, nauseating, visceral. The Yellow Wallpaper is terrifying and women understand why too well, specially if they’ve suffered a chronic condition. “It is so hard to talk to John about my case, because he is so wise, and because he loves me so.” Felt like a punch in the throat. Read it.

this is phenomenal. i’ve read it a few times and every time it is just as good if not better. it portrays the way women’s health was constantly downplayed by misogynistic men. the deterioration of the main characters mental health is haunting. i think everyone should read this.
