Honestly, this book saved me when working on a paper about "The Yellow Wallpaper." In addition to the short story, it had a lot of additional context like "Why I Wrote the Yellow Wallpaper" by Gilman and excerpt from "Fat and Blood" by Dr. Mitchell. It also had plenty of criticism that were very, very helpful. So if you're ever want to learn more about the story, this book is great!
