The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I've
just read this important and superb classic American short story. It's about mental illness in the context of
social norms and early feminism.
Here is
a link to the story:
About the
author, from Wikipedia:
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (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.
