The Yellow Wallpaper

The Yellow Wallpaper, first published in 1892, is a pivotal short story in early feminist American literature that explores a woman's gradual descent into madness. Confined to a nursery by her husband and physician due to nervous depression, the protagonist's creative expression is stifled, leading her to develop a disturbing obsession with the yellow wallpaper in her room. This chilling narrative serves as a critique of the period’s treatment of women's mental health and stands as an iconic feminist classic, beautifully narrated by Katherine Fenton.
