Description
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1892 short story, The Yellow Wallpaper is a valuable piece of American feminist literature that reveals attitudes toward the psychological health of women in the nineteenth century.
Diagnosed with "temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency" by her physician husband, a woman is confined to an upstairs bedroom.
Descending into psychosis at the complete lack of stimulation, she starts obsessing over the room's yellow wallpaper: "It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper!
It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw - not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things.
But there is something else about that paper - the smell! ... The only thing I can think of that it is like is the color of the paper!
A yellow smell."
