The Yellow Wallpaper

By Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Confined to rest and separated from her newborn child, a woman struggles to come to terms with a mental health diagnosis. As she vacillates between self-assurance and doubt, the yellow wallpaper that decorates her room becomes an unusual source of comfort. Originally published in 1892, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's searing indictment of the 19th century medical community quickly became a classic of early American literature.
