Made some headway into “The Country of Pointed Firs,” and I’ve been enjoying it. Very rustic. I particularly enjoyed the episode with the sea captain in the schoolhouse

Just wrapping up “The Yellow Wallpaper” this morning, utter classic. Such an effective psychological horror story, a protagonist who evokes absolute pathos from the reader. Included at the end is a note from Gilman, who writes that in her own lifetime the story saved at least one woman directly and many indirectly with its depiction of mental decline. Pretty inspiring!

The first story included, “Life in the Iron-Mills” by Rebecca Harding Davis, was really something special to read. Very sympathetic for the laboring class and it seems like it was a pioneering story for workers rights and realism. From 1861! Pretty good. “The Yellow Wallpaper” next!
