Die gelbe Tapete & Herland - Zwei feministische Klassiker in einem Band

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's most influential works in one volume: With the feminist horror story "The Yellow Wallpaper," she achieved breakthrough success in 1892. A young woman is condemned to strict bed rest after the birth of her child, confined to a room with barred windows, monitored closely by her husband and the doctor. However, the patterns of the wallpaper take on a sinister life of their own. In Gilman's utopian novel "Herland," three adventurous men set out to discover a mysterious "land of women"; the reality of this peaceful female society will forever change the worldview and, above all, the perception of women for the three men. As the first classical feminist utopia, "Herland" has entered literary history. Finally, a German edition featuring both key texts by the great American women's rights advocate. Provocative, captivating, and quick to read: two feminist classics of world literature for readers of Edgar Allen Poe and Virginia Woolf.
