These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Lucy Mangan. <p/>Trapped in her attic bedroom and isolated from her newborn baby, the nameless narrator of <i>The Yellow Wallpaper</i> keeps a secret diary in which she charts the sprawling patterns of the room's lurid yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness. This chilling short story is based on the author's own experience of depression and an enforced rest cure. <p/>In <i>Herland</i>, a trio of men set out to discover an all-female community rumoured to be hidden deep in an unnamed jungle. What they find far exceeds expectations; they're captured by highly educated women who, for two thousand years, have lived in a peaceful and prosperous utopia.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born in 1960 in Connecticut. Her father left when she was young and Gilman spent the rest of her childhood in poverty. As an adult she took classes at the Rhode Island School of Design and supported herself financially as a tutor, painter and artist. She had a short marriage with an artist and suffered serious postnatal depression after the birth of their daughter. In 1888 Gilman moved to California where she became involved in feminist organisations. In California she was inspired to write and published <i>The Yellow Wallpaper</i> in <i>The New England Magazine</i>in 1892. In later life she was diagnosed with breast cancer and died by suicide in 1935.
