The Yellow Wallpaper Av Charlotte Perkins Gilman

<p><b>INTRODUCED BY MAGGIE O''FARRELL</b><br><br><b>''A great work of literature, the product of a questing, burning intellect'' MAGGIE O''FARRELL </b><br><br><b>''Even if the themes being explored might seem irrelevant . . . this is not the case'' <i>GUARDIAN</i></b><br><br><b>''I loved the unnerving, sarcastic tone, the creepy ending'' <i>PARIS REVIEW </i></b><br><br>Based on the author''s own experiences, <i>The Yellow Wallpaper</i> is the chilling tale of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by the ''rest cure'' prescribed after the birth of her child. While she is isolated in a crumbling mansion, in a room with bars on the windows, the tortuous pattern of the yellow wallpaper winds its way into the recesses of her mind. <br><br>Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America''s leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century and a brilliant writer, editor and speaker. <i>The Yellow Wallpaper</i> is her masterpiece.</p>
