“If you bring forth what is within you, it will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is within you, it will destroy you”.
- The Gospel of Thomas, Apocrypha
“The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, long claimed as a canonical feminist text, is that and more. It’s the explosion that follows suppression. It’s the boy on the beach walking through his confusion to another boy on the beach. It’s the singer uncontrollably hitting a high C at her “real job”. It’s the invading soldier yielding to his conscience and turning on his company. And of course, it’s the 19th century woman, confined to a room for a “rest cure”, shredding wallpaper to release the soul it seems to imprison. Freedom isn’t free, but perhaps its price is only embracing what a mad world considers madness.
