its considered a proto-feminist short story... written in the mid/late 1800s i think? it's pretty unnerving. i love stories that never let you escape the inside of the narrator's head and this is one of them

hauntingly creepy short story about a “hysterical” woman under the 17th century rest cure who gradually goes insane, becoming obsessed with the yellow wallpaper in the room she’s trapped in. it pretty much ended the rest cure and is also an amazing example of early horror and feminist writings! i view it as a satirical dark comedy but i am also sick and twisted so maybe it’s just dark

I had the idea to do a little micro book club with my friends where we read short stories and this was our first selection; one of us hadn’t yet had the privilege of reading it and for the rest of us (including myself) it had been a while. Iconic piece of feminist literature and domestic psychological horror that had me really reminiscing on my descent into madness living in a beige luxury apartment. Click through to the link if you want to check it out and you’re not familiar but it’s more than worth a reread!
