Charlotte Perkins Gilman: The Yellow Wallpaper
It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John and myself secure ancestral halls for the summer.
A colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, I would say a haunted house, and reach the height of romantic felicity—but that would be asking too much of fate!
Still I will proudly declare that there is something queer about it.
Else, why should it be let so cheaply? And why have stood so long untenanted?
John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage.
John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (* 3. Juli 1860 in Hartford (Connecticut) als Charlotte Anna Perkins; † 17. August 1935 in Pasadena (Kalifornien)) war eine US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin und Frauenrechtlerin. Ihren literarischen Durchbruch hatte sie 1892 mit der autobiographisch geprägten Erzählung Die gelbe Tapete um eine vom Wahnsinn bedrohte junge Ehefrau, die auf diesem Wege der systematischen Abtötung ihrer Persönlichkeit zu entgehen sucht. Später fand Perkins Gilman vor allem mit feministischen Vortragsreihen und Studien viel Beachtung. Sie galt als mitreißende Rednerin.
