The first book of the month is The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

“The Yellow Wallpaper” (original title: “The Yellow Wall-paper. A Story”) is a 6,000-word short story by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892 in The New England Magazine. It is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward women’s health, both physical and mental.
