First published in 1892, The Yellow Wallpaper is Charlotte Perkins Gilman's haunting short story of confinement, perception, and psychological decline.
Presented as a series of secret journal entries, the narrative follows a young woman subjected to the rest cure by her physician husband and confined to a secluded country house. As isolation deepens, her attention fixes upon the room's yellow wallpaper-its patterns, distortions, and imagined movements-until the boundary between perception and reality begins to dissolve.
Though brief in length, the story stands as one of the most influential works of American psychological fiction. Gilman's portrayal of domestic restriction and medical paternalism has been widely read as an early feminist critique of nineteenth-century gender norms and the treatment of women's mental health. At the same time, its restrained prose and slow-building tension give it enduring power as a study in atmosphere and unreliable narration.
This Wilder Publications edition presents the complete, unabridged 1892 text.
