In a long-unoccupied mansion, a new mother is confined to what was once a nursery. She is assured by her physician husband that it is a necessary cure to ease her "nervous depression." Isolated and powerless, she becomes obsessed with the peeling, sickly colored wallpaper. In it, she sees what no one else can: a prisoner desperate to escape its maddening design.

A condemnation of the patriarchy, The Yellow Wallpaper explores with terrifying economy the oppression, grave misunderstanding, and willful dismissal of women in late nineteenth-century society.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Yellow Wallpaper, this edition of The Yellow Wallpaper (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

This is a great story, short and captivating. There’s a lot of symbolism and metaphors. I liked that you’re reading through the lens of the one experiencing the mental deterioration. Interesting take!
