The Yellow Wallpaper
The Yellow Wallpaper
A woman confined to a room for her health begins to watch the pattern in the wallpaper. Gilman’s story is brief and does not offer the cure the physician promised.
Author
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Gilman wrote The Yellow Wallpaper after a physician prescribed her a rest that forbade work. The story is short, domestic, and relentless about what that kind of care does to a mind.
