by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A woman is taken to the country by her husband in order to cure her of an unnamed illness after the birth of a child. Instructed to have total rest and emptiness of mind, the woman sinks into deep depression. Alone in the yellow-wallpapered nursery of a rented house, she descends into madness.
