The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman that delves into the psychological effects of confinement and the oppression of women in the late 19th century. The protagonist, a woman suffering from postpartum depression, is confined to a room with yellow wallpaper, which gradually drives her to madness. This story is a powerful critique of the patriarchal society of the time and explores themes of female identity, mental health, and the limitations imposed on women. Gilman's haunting and atmospheric writing style makes this story a haunting portrayal of the fin-de-siècle period.
