Abstract	This paper analysis the true nature of women’s lives through the eyes of an unreliable, insane narrator. The story is an amalgamation of oppression and freedom, fiction and non-fiction, men and women. Gilman’s story is about a journey to freedom from the hold of patriarchy. “The Yellow Wallpaper” raises protests against the male chauvinism that drags women down and acts as a chance to rediscover broken pieces of women and mend them mentally and physically. The story revolves around a yellow wallpaper that the narrator wishes to escape from to gain autonomy for herself. Gilman’s short story has become a tale for feminist readers and scholars to venture into and make such stories available to the masses and students in particular so that they can contribute to the making of a better community that understands the need for Gender studies in our curriculum.
