Author Charlotte Perkins Gilman experienced post-partum depression. In the late 1800’s this lead to a rest treatment that, she felt, nearly drove her insane. In response to that incident she wrote the short story, The Yellow Wallpaper, and began a career of supporting women’s rights and health issues. Review the Unit 3 Intellipath Lesson ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ to learn more about this story and context of the time.
Begin by reading The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Based on your reading, answer the following questions:
What is the main conflict of this story?
How does the author use imagery to convey her opinion of this mental health treatment?
Imagine that you are in the story – as you are today – would you have unlocked the room to release her? Why or why not?
Charlotte Perkins Gilman underwent this treatment, yet she chose a fictional account to encourage innovation in the healthcare field. Why do you think she chose a first person fiction story instead of a first person nonfiction account based on her true story?
