The reading process was quite long. It lasted up until I finished writing, I continually changed many of my sources to ones that better fit my topic. I read many scholarly sources both from Volpe Library and from other outside sources.

"Gilman herself went through rest cure treatment after child birth,(para 2) Stiles in "The Rest Cure."
The narrator and her husband rent a house for the summer. The narrator suffers from what her husband believes is merely temporary depression, The husband orders her to rest as much as possible and then picks a room in the house for them to stay. He chooses a large, ugly room on the top floor instead of the nicer room on the ground floor which the narrator prefers. She becomes obsessed with the wallpaper in the room and is convinced that there is a woman in there. Shortly before the lease is up and they are set to leave the house, the narrator decides she must set the woman in the wallpaper free, by stripping all of the wallpaper off of the walls. When her husband comes home and discovers what his wife has done, he faints. The narrator continues "creeping" around the room, over her husbands body claiming she cannot be put back into the wall
