We Are All Treated Equally.. Naht
Back in the early nineteen hundreds women were housewives. Their jobs were to maintain the household and watch the children. When the man of the house went to work and the children were sent off to school, the wife was left home alone all day. These situtations caused the spark for ideas like Desparate Housewives as this source points out. I find this interesting because it talks about how in the 1960s and 1950s the womans eagerness to talk to anyone is the key flame behind shows like Deaparate Housewives. In the 1960s Women started to get jobs and get out of the house. I cant imagine being expected to stay home all day. I would get so stir crazy

In both readings the female character was left at home alone to tend to the house. At least in the Yellow Wallpaper the female character went crazy being alone all day in the house. In the White Heron, the female character jumped at the opportunity to talk to someone other than her own child.
