The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America’s leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories makes available the fullest selection ever printed of her short fiction, featuring the pioneering feminist masterpiece of the title, her stories contemporary with The Yellow Wallpaper, the fiction from her neglected California period (1890-95), and her later explorations of “the woman of fifty.” Together, these impressive works throw new light on Gilman as a writer of fiction.
