The Yellow Wallpaper

von Charlotte Perkins Gilman

A woman and her husband rent a summer house, but what should be a restful getaway turns into a suffocating psychological battle. This chilling account of postpartum depression and a husband's controlling behavior in the guise of treatment will leave you breathless.

This Inwood Commons Modern Edition updates Charlotte Perkins Gilman's classic so that it's as easy to read and as relevant as if it was written today. The book also includes the author's argument to Congress for women's voting rights, her reasons for writing The Yellow Wallpaper, two essays from modern scholars, and the original unedited versions in appendices.
