On Author/ity and "The Yellow Wallpaper"
This story is probably most often read in terms of the conflict between a confined, post-partum mother/wife and her antagonist (husband, paternalistic medicine, her own mind, roles for 19th c. women). How would we need to reframe our thinking about Gilman's story if we were to focus on the narrator as a female writer? How might questions about who can write, who one has to be in order to write, the power and threat of authoring be relevant?
