Answer:

"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman tells the story of a woman who is confined to her bedroom. This is because her family (primarily her husband, who is a physician) believe her to be mentally sick, and think that rest will help her improve. However, with no mental stimulation, the woman becomes obsessed with the yellow wallpaper in her room, thinking that there is someone trapped behind it.
