Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1892 short story, 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is a valuable piece of American feminist literature that reveals attitudes toward the psychological health of women in the nineteenth century. Diagnosed with 'temporary nervous depression — a slight hysterical tendency' by her physician husband, a woman is confined to an upstairs bedroom. Descending into psychosis at the complete lack of stimulation, she starts obsessing over the room's yellow wallpaper: 'It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw — not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things. But there is something else about that paper — the smell … The only thing I can think of that it is like is the color of the paper A yellow smell. '
