The Yellow Wallpaper

Listen to *The Yellow Wallpaper* by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a landmark psychological short story about isolation, identity, and the cost of denying a woman’s own perception. Confined to an upstairs room under a supposed “rest cure,” a woman becomes increasingly absorbed by the strange pattern of the yellow wallpaper around her. Her private journal records a growing struggle between medical authority, domestic control, and the desperate need to make sense of what she sees. Perfect for listeners who
