Description
While vacationing at their summer home, a physician imposes a strict "rest cure" on his wife, who has been suffering from a recent nervous illness. Confined to the upstairs nursery of the colonial mansion, she becomes morbidly obsessed with the room's "sickly" yellow wallpaper. "The Yellow Wallpaper", an unnerving tale of patriarchal oppression and madness, was widely criticized for its disturbing imagery and feminist undertones, but has since been heralded as a classic of psychological horror. This Pseudoscorpion Digital Edition includes Charlotte Perkins Gilman's original story along with an afterward by the author: "Why I Wrote 'The Yellow Wallpaper'".
