The Yellow Wallpaper
"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story published in January 1892. This landmark work of feminist literature and horror fiction follows a woman confined to a nursery by her physician husband as treatment for "temporary nervous depression." Forbidden from working or writing, she documents her experience through secret journal entries. With nothing to occupy her mind but the room's disturbing yellow wallpaper, she descends into madness, becoming obsessed with its strange patterns and the figures she perceives within it.
