"The Yellow Wallpaper" (original title: "The Yellow Wall-paper. A Story") is a short story by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman that was originally published in The New England Magazine in January 1892. [1] It is recognized as an important early work of American feminist literature because it depicts women's attitudes about mental and physical health in the nineteenth century.The story is told in the first person through a series of diary entries written by a woman whose physician husband has rented an old home for the summer. The couple moves into the upstairs nursery, foregoing other rooms in the house. As a form of treatment, the husband prohibits the unnamed woman from working or writing and encourages her to eat well and get plenty of fresh air in order for her to recover from what he refers to as "temporary nervous depression with a slight hysterical tendency," a common diagnosis in women at the time.
The yellow wallpaper in "The Yellow Wallpaper" represents patriarchy and society. A woman is caught within the paper, which is unsightly, discolored, and ripped in sections. It represents the confinement of women, or the woman in the story, within a patriarchal society.
