The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
5.0
I found the most intriguing part of it to be the treatment of the narrator by her family. If she disagrees with her husband, he reminds her that he is a doctor. That she's doing better. That she has to get used to the paper.
Her physical confinement becomes mental confinement. Her lack of stimulation becomes obsession with the only stimulation she has.
It was written so long ago, but is still so applicable to the treatment of the mentally ill today.
