About this title

Synopsis

The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story that is considered by many to be a landmark in early feminist literature. The radical writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman uses her tale to consider the role of women at the end of the nineteenth century in the United States.

Gilman’s first-person narrator condemns the controlling attitudes and the dismissal of her own feelings both by her husband and the medical fraternity. Women were frequently considered to be mentally weaker than men and their treatment was directed to keeping them within the domestic setting, regardless of the woman herself.

It has been reported that Gilman wrote this story after her own treatment following post-natal depression in order to show her doctor, the eminent neurologist Silas Weir Mitchell, how his methods were flawed and the harm that they caused her.

This new edition includes:

an introduction written specially for this new edition
a short piece by Gilman explaining her reasons for writing The Yellow Wallpaper
this is followed by The Yellow Wallpaper which includes the illustrations from the first publication
a short article by Silas Weir Mitchell on his rest cure regime which he used as his treatment for Gilman’s illness
and finally, Gilman’s statement on the subject of women’s suffrage given to a committee of the House of Representatives in 1896.
