In 1886, After The Birth Of Her Daughter, Gilman Was Struck With Severe PostNatal Depression. Medical Opinion At The Time Ascribed This Condition To Too Much Mental Activity For The Female Mind, And She Was Prescribed A Rest Cure. For An Intellectual Like Gilman, Such Forced Inactivity Was A Disaster, And A Full Nervous Breakdown Ensued. In The Yellow Wallpaper A Young Woman Tells Of A Similar Enforced Idleness, And We Watch With Horrified Fascination Her Slow Descent Into Madness. Suffering From Depression, She Is Forced To Rest In A Barred Room, Where Her Agitated Mind Becomes Obsessed By The RoomS Yellow Wallpaper, Upon Whose Chaotic Swirls She Seeks To Impose Order And Pattern. Gradually, The Image Of A Stooping, Creeping Woman Appears  Held Captive By The Bars Of The Main Pattern  A Potent Symbol For The Stultifying Effects Of Both Her Personal Life And Society At Large. Eventually, Deeply Unstable, She Sees Trapped, Creeping Women Everywhere, And Knows Herself To Be Quite As Confined As Any Within The Yellow Wallpaper. Although Known Now For Her Prose, Charlotte Gilman First Rose To Prominence Through The Excellence Of Her Verse. Woman  The Central Section Of GilmanS Highly Acclaimed In This World  Comprises TwentyNine Poems That Expand Upon The Theme Of Female Emancipation And Cover A Wide Range Of Topics  From Female Suffrage Through Marriage And Motherhood, To Male Vanity And Willing Female Submission. Widely Regarded In Its Day, Woman Has Continued To Be A Source Of Inspiration For Many ModernDay Feminists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aziloth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45904412803270,"sku":"DADAX1909735884","price":7.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71P1R7ZJ_GL.jpg?v=1780385459","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/the-yellow-wallpaper-with-woman-gilmans-acclaimed-feminist-poetry-aziloth-books","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
