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 rooms lurid yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness. This chilling story is based on the authors 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.
