About This Quote

Winnifred Crane is a character in the novel The Yellow Wallpaper by Virginia Woolf. She is also the epitome of female hysteria. She suffers from an advanced case of what was then called “female insanity.” She is described as pale, thin, and wasted away to nothing. Her mind feels tormented because she gets no sleep at night.

The workings of the male mind are twisted indeed. This quote comes from a period in history when society was becoming more equal amongst the sexes. Women were gaining more rights and equality with men. So, it should be expected that women would be given more power than they were in the past.

However, during the Victorian era women still had to do everything that men did even if they were ill or had mental problems. They were expected to be strong and successful just like men but to only do what they could handle. This quote describes how women at this time had to do all of the work around the house, prepare meals for family, care for children, and do all other household chores while sitting back and waiting for their husbands to come home from work or hunt for them if they went out without telling anyone else where they went.
