Description
The Yellow Wall Paper is a short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, which was first published in 1892. The story is a first-person account of a woman's descent into madness, as she is confined to a room in her husband's summer home for what is believed to be postpartum depression. The protagonist, who remains unnamed throughout the story, is a woman who is prescribed a ""rest cure"" by her physician husband, John, who believes that she is suffering from a nervous condition. The woman is confined to a room in the house, which has yellow wallpaper that she finds disturbing. As the days go by, the woman becomes increasingly obsessed with the wallpaper, and begins to see patterns in it that she believes are moving and changing. As the story progresses, the woman's condition worsens, and she becomes convinced that there is a woman trapped behind the wallpaper. She begins to tear at the wallpaper in an attempt to free the woman, and eventually descends into complete madness. The Yellow Wall Paper is a powerful commentary on the treatment of women's mental health in the late 19th century, and the patriarchal attitudes that often prevented women from receiving proper care. It is a haunting and disturbing story that continues to resonate with readers today.The ""rest cure"" was prescribed to Gilman by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, author of the Autobiography of a Quack.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
