Join our Short Story Weekend on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October, to celebrate World Mental Health Day with Audrey. If you'd like to celebrate in your workplace, go to the bottom of this blog post!
We will listen to and discuss our guided audiobook of The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman (44 mins), with a guide by Amy Stewart and custom illustrations by Paula Salvatierra, exclusive to the Audrey app.
World Mental Health Day (10th October) aims to raise awareness and mobilise support of mental health issues around the world. Studies show that reading fiction and listening to audiobooks help alleviate stress, anxiety, and loneliness. A book is an easy route into conversation that goes beyond the superficial, and this is a cornerstone of the Audrey app.

So, we warmly invite you to join our discussion about mental health on the first weekend of October through this classic work of feminist literature 😊
Blurb
The Yellow Wallpaper is an unflinching look at one woman’s descent into madness and a scathing critique of gender inequalities and approaches to female mental health. From this short yet powerful story, you can expect playful takes on gothic tropes, a powerful central voice, and an unforgettable insight into depression that rings as true today as it did in 1892.
