Yellow Wallpaper and Herland, The (Collins Classics)

In The Yellow Wallpaper a woman frantically paces the empty nursery at the top of a secluded mansion. Her husband John, a physician, is of no comfort and she can’t bear to sit with the new baby as his crying makes her much too nervous. And then there’s the putrid, yellow wallpaper which seems to shift and creep around the room before her very eyes… Herland, first published in 1915, follows a group of three men as they arrive in a female-only society.
