"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a classic 1892 short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman abouta woman's descent into psychosis while undergoing a "rest cure" for postpartum depression, prescribed by her physician husband. Confined to a nursery with hideous yellow wallpaper, she becomes obsessed with its pattern, seeing a trapped woman behind it, which symbolizes her own confinement by patriarchal society and the oppressive treatment of women's mental health in the 19th century. The story is a landmark of feminist literature, told through the narrator's secret journal entries as she is forbidden from writing.
