'There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will.'
First published in 1892, The Yellow Wallpaper is considered a hugely significant work of early feminist American literature.
As haunting as it is poignant, The Yellow Wallpaper is a deeply compelling short story that follows a woman's descent into madness. Having been confined to a nursery by her physician and husband after a nervous depression, the protagonist is denied access to writing or working, and soon begins to feel stifled by the four walls which she inhabits. Over time, she begins to develop an obsessive fascination with the room's yellow wallpaper, perceiving the figure of a trapped woman behind the paper's patterns. A chilling critique of the treatment of women's mental health at the time, The Yellow Wallpaper still stands as an iconic feminist classic. This audiobook edition is brilliantly narrated by Katherine Fenton.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860 – 1935) was an American writer, feminist and social reformer, best known for her short story The Yellow Wallpaper. Her work primarily focused on gender, and the problems surrounding patriarchal ideation. In 1994, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.
