How 'The Yellow Wallpaper' Changed Women's Medicine

At the turn of the twentieth century, the ‘New Woman’ was shaking things up. She wore trousers! She rode bicycles! She wrote proto-feminist short stories! She angered the patriarchy and championed women’s rights. But just as women began to seek control of their lives and bodies, there arose a medical vogue for diagnosing women with nervous disorders that helped to keep them in line. Funny that! In response to this form of oppression, Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, a tale of madness, medical abuse, sisterhood, and power. Come with me as we discover how Perkins Gilman, and other women writing at the turn of the twentieth century, fought back against the patriarchal establishment and brought about change that we’re still feeling the repercussions of today.
