The Yellow Wallpaper & Collected Stories

by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Denae Eagen, Jana Hoffman

Battling the inferior status accorded to women, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1892 short story The Yellow Wallpaper is the extraordinary story of one woman's journey into psychosis. Under the case of her physician husband who diagnoses her need for a rest cure, she spends the summer confined to the upstairs bedroom of a colonial mansion. Her only stimulus is the yellow patterned wall paper that lines the room. Her obsession escalates as the wallpaper comes to life-revealing a woman trapped behind the patterns. Her mission becomes painstakingly clear as she works tirelessly to free the woman from her bondage.The Yellow Wallpaper & Collected Stories also includes other works by Gilman: The Giant Wistaria, The Rocking Chair, The Cottagette, and Three Thanksgivings.
