The Yellow Wallpaper book cover

The Yellow Wallpaper

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Explore the unsettling effects of a woman's confinement in 'The Yellow Wallpaper,' a chilling story based on the author's own experiences. Stripped of her freedom, the protagonist struggles to maintain her sanity under the 'rest cure' for postpartum depression that confines her to a barred room in a colonial mansion. As she fixates on the pattern of the yellow wallpaper, the situation spirals further into an intimate and terrifying portrayal of mental breakdown. Written by one of America's pioneering feminist thinkers, this groundbreaking classic ignites conversations about mental health, gender roles, and the dangers of neglecting women's needs.
