This was an interesting glimpse into the thoughts of a young woman in the 1950s descending into depression. Today mental illness still has a stigma attached, but compared to these (semi-autobiographical) experiences, today's people seem better off. I am fortunate to not experience these extreme lows and suicidal thoughts myself, so experiencing them through Esther Greenwood was eye-opening.
