Blurb: “Her rest promised peace-but opened the door to something worse...
When a young wife is sent to a secluded estate to recover from a "nervous condition," she is confined to a former nursery with decaying yellow wallpaper. Forbidden from writing and isolated from her friends, she becomes fixated on the wallpaper's sickly color, chaotic patterns, and the strange movements she begins to see within it.
As her obsession deepens, the wallpaper seems to come alive-whispering secrets, hiding figures, and drawing her into a haunting descent from which there may be no return.”
Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an American writer, sociologist, and feminist best known for her short story "The Yellow Wallpaper." A leading voice in the early women's rights movement, Gilman wrote extensively about gender inequal-ity, economic independence, and social reform. Her influential nonfiction work, Women and Economics (1898), argued for women's financial autonomy as a key to equality.
Gilman's bold ideas and powerful prose helped shape feminist thought for generations. She remains a significant figure in both American literature and women's history.
