Charlotte Gilman's the Yellow Wallpaper is a haunting semi-autobiographical article of mental dementia where a woman is imprisoned in a room by her male guardians – her doctor, her brother, and her husband – allegedly for the sake of her health. Forced to stare for hours on end at wallpaper in her room, the woman sinks into mental psychosis. The story comes alive particularly because Gillman herself experienced mental dementia. She lived during that period, suffered from contemporary medical advice that proffered to ‘cure' the problem, and angered at chauvinist anti-female bias that reduced women to male ownership capturing and killing them, poured all in her story. Women, Gilman seems to tell us, can free herself. But it takes immense will and effort to do so since socialization and convention has been so strong. It needs the combined effort of womanhood in general to help females free. And once free, women can crawl around the room as she pleases. "I've got out at last," says the character, "in spite of you and Jane. And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back!" Gilman's experience brings the "Yellow Wallpaper" to live and her social activism is the stimulus behind the story telling's – women all over the world – to fight for their freedom.
