A Story\") is a 6,000-word short story by the American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892 in The New England Magazine.It is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward women's health, both physical and mental. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePresented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband (John) has rented an old mansion for the summer. Forgoing other rooms in the house, the couple moves into the upstairs nursery. As a form of treatment, the unnamed woman is forbidden from working, and is encouraged to eat well and get plenty of exercise and air, so she can recuperate from what he calls a \"temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency\", a diagnosis common to women in that period.She hides her journal from her husband and his sister the housekeeper, fearful of being reproached for overworking herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe room's windows are barred to prevent children from climbing through them, and there is a gate across the top of the stairs, though she and her husband have access to the rest of the house and its adjoining estate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story depicts the effect of understimulation on the narrator's mental health and her descent into psychosis. With nothing to stimulate her, she becomes obsessed by the pattern and color of the 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut 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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the end, she imagines there are women creeping around behind the patterns of the wallpaper and comes to believe she is one of them. She locks herself in the room, now the only place she feels safe, refusing to leave when the summer rental is up. \"For outside you have to creep on the ground, and everything is green instead of yellow. But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScroll Up and Get Your Copy! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimeless Classics for Your Bookshelf\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClassic Books for Your Inspiration and Entertainment\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eVisit Us at: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003egoo.gl\/U80LCr\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eCharlotte Perkins Gilman\u003c\/b\u003e (July 3, 1860 - August 17, 1935) was a prominent American feminist, sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story \"The Yellow Wallpaper\" which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Although it was not the first or longest of her works, without question Gilman's most famous piece is her short story \"The Yellow Wallpaper,\" which became a best-seller of the Feminist Press. She wrote it on June 6 and 7, 1890 in her home of Pasadena, and it was printed a year and a half later in the January 1892 issue of \u003ci\u003eThe New England Magazine.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since its original printing, it has been anthologized in numerous collections of women's literature, American literature, and textbooks, though not always in its original form. For instance, many textbooks omit the phrase \"in marriage\" from a very important line in the beginning of story: \"John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage.\" The reason for this omission is a mystery, as Gilman's views on marriage are made clear throughout the story.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47247213527289,"sku":"9781544033778","price":17.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/blg1eHl1a2Z6RmhTNlNvM3h3LzJMQT09_df34a963-2032-4e32-a9f8-bc4bde704657.webp?v=1768621186","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-yellow-wallpaper-paperback-18","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
