Written in the 19th century to protest the medical, professional, and societal oppression against women at the time, this disturbing short story by Charlotte Gilman illustrates the attitude towards mental and physical health of women through the narrator's journaling during her "rest cure" prescribed by her doctor husband. "I've got out at last...you can't put me back!"

litenthusiast Is your version illustrated? This is one of my favorite short stories! 5y
BekaReid @litenthusiast it is! I was not familiar with the story until stumbling on artwork based on it in Spectrum25. Then down the rabbit trail I went, which ended in obtaining and reading an illustrated PDF I found online under public domain. 😊 5y
BekaReid @litenthusiast correction Spectrum24 had the artwork that led to this! 5y
litenthusiast @BekaReid That's pretty cool. I'll have to look into the illustrated version now. My never ending TBR list 😉 5y
