Charlotte Perkins Gilman
These links relate primarily to
"The Yellow Wall-Paper."
-
"The Yellow Wallpaper" Image files of the pages from The
New England Magazine that are the first publication of the
story (vol. 11, Jan. 1892). Note that the author was listed as
Charlotte Perkins Stedman, and the first page carried the image
used as a watermark for this page. (This material is part of
the Making of
America site at Cornell. There is another
Making of America
site at the University of Michigan. Both provide access to a
wide range of primary materials for research on American culture
during the second half of the nineteenth century.)
-
"The Yellow Wallpaper" One of several online versions of
the story
-
"The Yellow Wallpaper" E-text with printable .pdf file link
-
"Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper" There are dead
links to this 1913 article on a number of very good pages, but
on 13 Feb. 2004 this one is working, and so is
this one.
-
Yet another "Why I Wrote," but this page also offers a link
to all three of the original illustrations and a quotation from
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell that gives his opinion about women's
intellects. (Scroll down, but first you may want to get any
heavy objects that can be thrown out of the vicinity of your
computer screen.)
-
Annotations for "The Yellow Wallpaper" from a medical point of
view: "The Literature, Arts, & Medicine Database is an
annotated bibliography of prose, poetry, film, video and art
which was developed to be a dynamic, accessible, comprehensive
resource in MEDICAL HUMANITIES, for use in health/pre-health and
liberal arts settings." ("About
the Database")
- Annotation from the same source
for
a work by S. Weir Mitchell . The annotation describes Weir
Mitchell's "rest cure." There is also a link to a page on S.
Weir Mitchell as an author, with information about some of his
literary work.
-
"Putting
the rest cure to rest - again: rest has no place in treating
chronic fatigue" According to this 1995 editorial from the
British Medical Journal, chronic fatigue syndrome has
some symptoms in common with what the 19th century called
neurasthenia, and some of the treatments offered for CFS in 1995
essentially resurrected Weir Mitchell's "rest cure."

Women and Economics Gilman's book on economics. It is
still in print, and it is interesting to run a search for the
title and see the web sites not connected with literary study
that mention and seem to recommend it.
