Ennie every one of yours newsletters are so compelling and wonderfully researched and put together, I don’t know if I’ve said that before but I always think it when I see one in my inbox
It's funny. I just read another post that included The Yellow Wallpaper in it. Also included topics of female histeria. I like the idea you present a little bit of romantization in the lack of knowledge of something. Especially of female pains. I think it happens a lot to this day.
Oh, I love! Very serendipitous that you found this essay. I think human beings are prone to either desiring or fearing what they don't know (I'm actually researching egyptomania and how quickly the Middle East went from being exoticised to fear-mongered) and like you said, women are often suffering at the hands of this romanticisation
