The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

I liked the story a lot. It's amazing to see how many different topics can be tackled in such a few pages. However, I think a little more pages would've been good if it meant to give the reader a clearer perspective of the ending, which I felt was very sudden and abrupt. 

The writing was also not very enjoyable, some diary entries were not transitioned in a smooth and I felt all along like it lacked something.

From how society has treated women and how man-oriented circumstances have been, to gaslighting them to the biggest extent, the subject of this book is a very powerful one, and the horror is definitely accomplished. I just think that it would've benefited from being a little longer.
