Nelms, Amber. “The Yellow Wallpaper: A Discussion of Mental Healthcare, Feminism, and
Gender Roles Under the Guise of the Supernatural.” (2016).
In her, “A Discussion of Mental Healthcare, Feminism, and Gender Roles Under the Guise
of the supernatural,” Nelms discusses gender roles as presented in “The Yellow Wallpaper.”
According to the author, the text presents feminist ideals in texts at first glance. The theme of
Gilman, the author, was to make it be read as a feminist piece. Gilma gives examples that focus
on women’s mental health care in the late 1800s, and all that the author presents is on the
traditional gender roles that appear to the relationship of the narrator (Gilma) with her husband.
The story was made to scare people on the sexist culture in most societies. Underneath the entire
story, there is a lot of feminist dialogue. John, the husband to the narrator and his symbolic role
as the patriarchy, the women in the wallpaper representing all the women, and the roles of
women in the Victorian society are the primary feminist issues. The article is very crucial in the
study as it directly addresses the research topic. It presents the feminist roles in Victorian society
as depicted in “The Yellow Wallpaper” and other issues affecting women in the patriarchal
society like mental health. Therefore, the article will provide key information on feminism and
gender roles in the
story.

and class inequalities. The article also brings in the aspect of dialoguing with Laura Mulvey and

Grammatical Metaphor of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’.” Journal of
Foreign Language Teaching and Translation Studies 5.2 (2020): 41-66.
The article explores the relationship between the author’s personal experiences and the
story. Specifically, the aim of the article is to understand Gilman’s linguistic choices that
highlight the discrimination factors that make the women’s state in society worse and struggles
as represented by the male-dominated society. As shown in the story, the feminine gender roles
were poorly positioned; they were ignored and abused. Based on the explanation, the study aims
at explaining the author’s present experiences and what is within her. It provides an environment
that explains how such a community system like the Victoria society described in the story
influences the experiences of the author. The article is relevant to the research topic as it shows
