The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Writings by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

2.0

I'm struggling to finish this book--it contains one very good story, The Yellow Wallpaper, and then a couple hundred pages demonstrating why the only thing anybody's ever read by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is The Yellow Wallpaper. None of her other stories (and certainly none of her nonfiction) hold a candle to that story, and, while socially relevant to her time, are so specifically directed at people of a certain social class at a specific time period that they lose the general relevance necessary for something to be readable beyond its time.
