This edition of Gilman's work includes her best-known story, The Yellow Wall-paper, a terrifying tale about a woman driven to the brink of insanity by the rest cure she is ordered to follow by her doctor to relieve her postpartum depression. Also included is a wide range of other short stories; an abridged version of her little-known but brilliant utopian novel, Herland, about a peaceful all-female world; and selections from her landmark treatise, Women and Economics, first published in 1898 to universal acclaim.
