The Yellow Wallpaper & Herland, Hardback Book

The Yellow Wallpaper & Herland Hardback

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series

Hardback

Description

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s progressive views on feminism and mental health are powerfully showcased in her two most famous stories.

The Yellow Wallpaper skillfully charts one woman's struggle with depression whilst Herland is an entertaining imagining of an all female utopia. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

This edition is introduced by journalist and author Lucy Mangan. Confined to her attic bedroom and isolated from her newborn baby, the nameless narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper keeps a secret diary in which she records the sprawling and shifting patterns of the room’s lurid yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness.

This chilling story is based on the author’s own experience of depression.

In Herland, a trio of men set out to discover an all-female community rumoured to be hidden deep in the jungle.

What they find surprises them all; they’re captured by women who, for two thousand years, have lived in a peaceful and prosperous utopia without men.
