The Yellow Wallpaper
2017
The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman about the struggles of young women with a mental illness in the late 19th century. The concept for the cover redesign comes from the last scene of the story as the main character tears, rips, and scratches at the wallpaper of her bedroom. This outward manic episode becomes symbolic of the inward battle the main character is facing.
