The Yellow Wall-Paper: Curious, curious, curious. Some kind of Post-Natal Depression with 18th Century cures. Touches at the very heart of what depression feels like with its wall-paper detestation that turns almost in to adoration. Not entirely sure how I feel about it, or what it was I just read. 
 The Rocking-Chair: Another curious one, this time a ghost story from a male perspective. Intriguing like a Poe but not at all fright-inducing, more just a bit odd. Never been a fan of hauntings and this one left me feeling not a lot. 
 Old Water: Amusing in a dark way. Genders are somewhat reversed here with the outlook of pre-18th Century poetry at the forefront. Social commentary, but ambiguous as if Gilman was not wholly sure of it. 
 A neat little collection. I enjoyed the first one the most, but the other two were fairly bland, but very clever. I think I just did not like the style of writing, even though it was competent and thoughtful and obviously from a woman who knew what woman actually were.
