The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story originally published in 1892. It’s a feminist tale. Yes, they had feminist back in 1892. In fact, by then it was old hat.

The story itself is a woman’s descent into psychosis while receiving a “rest cure” for nervous depression. The only problem is that her doctor is also her husband. Confined to an upstairs nursery, she becomes obsessed with the room’s hideous yellow wallpaper, hence the title.

Enjoy
