October 28, 2020 Short Story - "The Yellow Wallpaper"
On this episode of Special Criminals, we are doing something a little different. To help celebrate Halloween, we are bringing an old short story to you - "The Yellow Wallpaper."

This old story was written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and first published in 1892. It gives an eerie first person account of a woman's decent into madness. Now, we would recognize the narrator's struggles as post-partum depression.

So this will drive our spotlight discussion next week on the topic of post-partum depression (PPD) and its various forms. Please enjoy this short story brought to life by Monica and then join us next week for our PPD spotlight. Happy Halloween!
