Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ll take a man like Ford Mathews
(The story is The Cottagette)

Oh Charlotte you didn‘t hide much in this story did you 😆 ... if you can and/or want to go find this really short (3 pages) story and read it. It‘s worth the 5 ish minutes. #feministwriters #ladywriters

Picking this one up, again. I‘ve read some of the stories at least once and the title story multiple times. I have 2 “bookmarks” in this book so I‘m not sure what was happening. I may just start all over with it, but I may skip the title story as I damn near know it by heart.

I‘ve only ever read The Yellow Wallpaper in high school, but never any others by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Excited to pick away at these stories for the next little bit!

Thank you Kay! Spoiled with two books for #jolabokaflodswap @kaysworld1 Happy Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄

I wonder if they all come out of that wall-paper as I did?

I recently came across this again after reading it at uni years ago. It still manages to make me feel completely unsettled and uncomfortable everytime I read it, which I think is partly why I love it. Massively thought provoking and absolutely recommended.

The #FreakyFriday books that I selected to read from @shendrix413 ‘s list of a few of her favorites. So excited to start this fun “challenge” in April!

I It had been on my tbr list way too long, so glad I finally read it. I think the yellow wallpaper is an excellent story. I also enjoyed the other content of this book, but not every part is as great as the main story. Still, I think it is a must read as a reminder of how society then worked and how men/women relations were organised.

I read (and disliked) this in HS. Oddly, the story always stuck with me. Years later, I read a book that briefly discussed Gilman's mental health and reasoning for writing this short story. I decided to reread it and am so glad I did!

I finally got on the @SerialReader bandwagon

"I am getting angry enough to do something desperate. To jump out of the window would be admirable exercise, but the bars are too strong even to try.

Besides I wouldn't do it. Of course not. I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued."

Ne želim pogledati kroz prozor - vani je toliko tih žena što pužu,što tako brzo pužu. Pitam se jesu li sve one izašle iz tapeta poput mene?
