The Yellow Wallpaper

by Charlotte Perkins Gilman; Catherine Golden

A young woman writer and her husband move into an old colonial mansion, which she believes is haunted. She becomes unwell and struggles against the medical authorities, including her husband and brother, whose remedies for her depression--mainly bed rest and no writing--nearly drive her insane. In a journal, she recounts this period of enforced "rest," during which she contemplates the "sickly, sulphur tint" of the yellow wallpaper in her room. A short but powerful work, and a seminal feminist text.
