From the publisher
The original feminist horror story, about a woman driven to the brink - and beyond.
In the throes of a 'temporary nervous depression' following childbirth, a woman is brought by her physician husband to recuperate in an isolated New England mansion.
There she is barred from her work of writing and encouraged to simply get better. Sequestered in the old nursery at the top of the house, with barred windows and a bed nailed to the floor, she has little to do but examine the strange wallpaper that surrounds her - and appears to shift before her very eyes.
Here accompanied by Gilman's key wider stories, The Yellow Wall-Paper endures as a groundbreaking, deeply disturbing classic of feminist horror.
'A great work of literature, the product of a questing, burning intellect' Maggie O'Farrell
