The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte P. Gilman

Title:  The Yellow Wallpaper

Author: Charlotte P. Gilman

Review:

I thought this classic short story was absolutely fascinating, in a slightly terrifying sense. In diary-entry format, we watch as a young mother suffering from depression is slowly driven mad. Written as a critique of “rest cure” often prescribed to women in the 1800s, Gilman’s most famous work is a chilling one to remember.
