The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman has been one of my favorite and most interesting stories of the semester.She tackles feminism during a time where is was taboo to believe a woman could be educated and strong. This time was filled with social realism. Individuals began realizing things in a new way. Writers began to write about war, political and social change as they saw it. Perkins-Gilman generated one of the first waves of feminism and attempted to move the society to a more egalitarian society. In her book she writes about the lives in which women were actually living during the time. Which is essentially what made this work even more profound. She wrote about a community of people that were not being represented. She was able to give them a voice finally.
