Book excerpt: Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an American feminist, sociologist, novelist, poet, scientific writer, teacher and social reformer. Gilman became a role model for a future feminists’ generation. Her most famous work, The Yellow Wallpaper, was written after Gilman’s difficult fight with the postpartum psychosis. It is a story about a woman, who suffers from a mental disease after being captured for three months in a room by her husband for her own sake. She gets obsessed with the awful yellow wallpaper in the room. Gilman wrote this book to change awareness of people about the woman’s role in the society.
