The Yellow Wallpaper

Mehr zum Buch

Set in the nineteenth century, the narrative unfolds through journal entries of a woman confined by her physician husband to a room for her supposed mental health recovery. As she grapples with her isolation and the oppressive treatment of her condition, she becomes increasingly obsessed with the room's yellow wallpaper. This work highlights the era's attitudes toward women's mental health and is celebrated as an early feminist piece, blending elements of Gothic and horror fiction to explore themes of confinement and self-identity.
