The Yellow Wallpaper
ByPublisher Description
The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a haunting short story that delves into the depths of mental illness and societal oppression. Through the eyes of a woman confined to a room by her physician husband, the narrative explores themes of isolation, identity, and the struggle for self-expression. As the protagonist's obsession with the intricate yellow wallpaper in her room intensifies, readers are drawn into her spiraling descent into madness. This powerful and evocative tale is a poignant critique of the patriarchal structures of the 19th century and remains a significant work in feminist literature.
