The Yellow Wallpaper
By Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A chilling descent into madness—or a powerful cry for freedom?
First published in 1892, The Yellow Wallpaper is one of the most iconic and haunting short stories in American literature. Written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, this semi-autobiographical tale explores the mental deterioration of a woman subjected to the infamous “rest cure” for postpartum depression. Confined to a room and forbidden from working or writing, she becomes obsessed with the room’s hideous yellow wallpaper—and what she believes is hiding behind it.
A bold critique of the treatment of women and mental health in the 19th century, this story remains strikingly relevant and deeply unsettling today.
