“The Yellow Wallpaper” is an important cornerstone of feminist literature. Gilman wrote the story to change public perception about the role of women in society by demonstrating the harmful mental and emotional effects that women suffered when denied their autonomy and decision-making authority.

Some argue that modern feminism was borne on her pages, and one needs to look no further than this 1894 short story “The Story of an Hour” to support the claim.
