The Yellow Wall-Paper (Penguin Little Black Classics) By Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The Yellow Wall-Paper is a seminal short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in 1892. Written in the form of journal entries, the narrative follows a woman diagnosed with a “temporary nervous depression” who is confined to a room by her husband. As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the room’s yellow wallpaper, the story delves into themes of mental illness, gender roles, and the oppressive medical practices of the time. Gilman’s work is a pioneering piece in feminist literature, offering a powerful critique of the treatment of women in the 19th century.
