MPL Book Club: The Yellow Wallpaper

As we explore the topic of abnormal psychology in fiction this summer, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s 19th Century novella The Yellow Wallpaper provides ample content for discussion. Written as journal entries by a woman who has decreasing mental abilities, the narration is fascination and shocking, and brings up questions about the treatment of women and mental health then and now. 

Book Pick-Up Begins: May 12th. 

Register in advance and pick up a copy of the book from the Reference desk. Discussions are led by MPL librarians. These programs are funded by our MLA friends of the library
