What if the room meant to heal you slowly stole your mind?
First published in 1892, The Yellow Wallpaper remains an electrifying indictment of patriarchal "cures" for female unrest and a cornerstone of feminist literature. Charlotte Perkins Gilman draws on her own harrowing experience with postpartum depression and the infamous "rest cure" to craft a story as claustrophobic as it is revolutionary.
Confined by her well-meaning physician husband, the unnamed narrator secretly records the wallpaper's grotesque vines and phantom women trapped behind its bars. As days blur and shadows writhe, her journal becomes an act of rebellion-an urgent plea for selfhood against the suffocating weight of domestic expectation.
