The story which I have chosen to analyse is "The Yellow Wall-Paper" written by the American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a 6,000-word short story, first published in January 1892 in The New English 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.In her own words, Gilman wrote: "It was not intended to drive people crazy, but to save people from being driven crazy, and it worked." It is presented in the first person.
She 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.
