Episode 7: "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Today’s episode is about a woman who’s not well. Her husband/physician, since that’s a great combination, has prescribed her rest in the countryside. It’s a beautiful house with incredible gardens and greenery - grape vines, and pathways around the property. What isn’t gorgeous however, is the musty, dirty, yellow wallpaper in the room in which she is ordered to rest. The man she has trusted to be her husband, has isolated her in the countryside with only his sister as company. Don’t worry though, she is able to write her thoughts, feelings, and emotions onto a piece of paper (as long as no one sees her do it). This story is an intriguing take on what could happen to someone, once the isolation sets in. Once the mind starts to run. Once there is no one to turn to except a little piece of paper. I hope you enjoy.Like, Comment, or Share if you liked this episode. Goodnight!The music for this podcast was provided by Miles Agean. Check out his album, Alpenglow, on Apple Music & Spotify.
