First published in 1982, ‘The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories’ is regarded as a groundbreaking feminist masterwork and one of the most magnificent horror stories in American literature, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an American humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate for social reform, and eugenicist.

It portrays a critical reflection of nineteenth-century mindsets toward women’s physical and mental health. Written as a compilation of journal entries by a woman whose physician husband has restricted her to her bedroom, the story represents the narrator’s collapse into psychosis as her imprisonment slowly worsens her mind. This collection also includes the stories ‘The Giant Wistaria’, ‘According to Solomon’, ‘The Boys and the Butter’, ‘Her Housekeeper’, ‘Martha’s Mother’, ‘A Middle-Sized Artist’, ‘An Offender’, ‘When I Was a Witch’, ‘The Cottagette’, ‘Making a Living’, and ‘Mr. Robert Grey Sr.’ It is not only an American literary classic, but it also delivers an understanding of America’s social history.
