The Yellow Wallpaper and Why I Wrote 'The Yellow Wallpaper'

A prominent sociologist, lecturer, and writer of the late nineteenth century, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's unorthodox concepts and lifestyle helped shape future generations of feminists. This audio-book includes her most enduring work, The Yellow Wallpaper as well as her 1913 article, "Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper."

The Yellow Wallpaper told as a series of secret diary entries, the story is about a young woman, confined to her room and denied all creative outlets, who gradually suffers a mental breakdown.

"Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper" originally published in an issue of the Forerunner, the article addresses the story behind The Yellow Wallpaper, revealing Gilman's own experience with postpartum psychosis.
