The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in 1892. It is a chilling tale of a woman's descent into madness as she is confined to a room with yellow wallpaper. The story explores themes of gender roles, mental health, and the oppressive nature of patriarchal society. With its haunting atmosphere and psychological depth, The Yellow Wallpaper is a notable addition to the Decadence & the Fin-de-Siècle genre.
