The Yellow Wallpaper

Description

Confined to the attic with nothing but a journal and her thoughts, a young mother is prescribed peace and tranquillity to help her hysteria. But her thoughts are less than tranquil and the attic’s Yellow Wallpaper does little to quiet her mind, forcing her to explore every corner of her sanity

Written in 1892, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Yellow Wallpaper is an important piece of feminist literature which brings to life the attitude towards physical and mental health in the 19th century while gripping readers with its foreboding atmosphere.
