In their essay, Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar argue that "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a story about:

“The Yellow Wallpaper” is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman that describes the narrator’s depression following the birth of her child.

The narrator’s husband, John, a respected physician, diagnoses her behavior as “hysteria” and prescribes rest.

John prohibits the narrator from writing, and she cannot stand to visit her baby.

The narrator spends all day sitting in bed, and she begins to see a woman struggling inside the room’s yellow wallpaper.

Finally, in an effort to release the woman, the narrator tears down the wallpaper. When John comes in, he finds the narrator creeping around the room and faints.

Explanation:

"it's more of an essay than story, but perhaps it is best described as a mood-piece: it uses a lot of musical imagery, not to mention sea imagery, religious imagery, and any other imagery that suits his purpose."
