The Yellow Wallpaper

By Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The Yellow Wallpaper is Charlotte Perkins Gilman's chilling short story of psychological descent and feminist rebellion. Told through the secret journal entries of a woman suffering from postpartum depression, the story chronicles her prescribed "rest cure" in a secluded room adorned with oppressive, disturbing yellow wallpaper. As her isolation deepens and her voice is continually silenced by her physician husband, the woman becomes obsessed with the wallpaper's grotesque patterns -- and with the figure she imagines trapped behind it. Blurring the line between reality and madness, Gilman delivers a scathing critique of 19th-century medical and societal attitudes toward women's mental health. First published in 1892, The Yellow Wallpaper remains a foundational feminist text and an enduring masterpiece of psychological horror and gothic fiction.
