Es una lectura concisa e impactante que permite adentrarnos en la triste realidad femenina; interpretándose en nuestra actualidad. Sin duda, es un referencial pertinente en la salud mental y su papel en la construcción social de la mujer.

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.
