What does The Yellow Wallpaper reveal about the lives of nineteenth century women?

Note that strong responses will not only integrate the story but will also include research about the cult of domesticity and the challenges facing women in the late nineteenth century. We are not in an English class so you need to think more about the world surrounding the story, than the story itself. Hence you must compare this short story to another text written by a late nineteenth century female writer of your choice. Otherwise how will you know if this is representative of women’s experiences?
