Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote a piece of literature "The Yellow Wallpaper". Gilman is the narrator who is suffering from post-partum depression following the birth of her baby.

The author did a brilliant job with this piece of literature that depicts how a woman is permissive and is being controlled by her dominant husband. Women in liberal countries such as the United States women are enjoying freedom while still today the women in India and Pakistan are still enclosed behind the bars of the "Yellow Wallpaper".
