Sinopsis

2023 Hardcover Reprint of 1892 Edition.áThis short story is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward womenâÇÖs health, both physical and mental.áPresented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband (John) has rented an old mansion for the summer. Forgoing other rooms in the house, the couple moves into the upstairs nursery. As a form of treatment, the unnamed woman is forbidden from working, and is encouraged to eat well and get plenty of exercise and air, so she can recuperate from what he calls a 'temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency', a diagnosis common to women in that period.áGilman used her writing to explore the role of women in America at the time. She explored issues such as the lack of a life outside the home and the oppressive forces of the patriarchal society. Through her work Gilman paved the way for writers such as Alice Walker and Sylvia Plath.
