Summary:
„The Yellow Wallpaper” tells the haunting story of a young woman confined to a room by her physician husband under the so-called “rest cure.” Isolated from the world, she becomes obsessed with the room’s hideous yellow wallpaper — and slowly unravels into madness.
This powerful short story is both a gothic horror and an early feminist critique of how women’s mental health was misunderstood and mistreated in the 19th century.
