夏洛特·帕金斯·吉爾曼是二十世紀初美國傑出的女性主義知識分子。 《黃色壁紙及其他故事》匯集了她迄今為止出版的最完整的短篇小說選集，涵蓋了同名開創性的女權主義傑作、與《黃色壁紙》同時期的短篇小說、她被忽視的加州時期（1890-95）的小說創作，以及她後期對“五十歲女性”的探索。這些令人印象深刻的作品共同展現了吉爾曼作為小說家的全新視角。
Charlotte Perkins Gilman was America's leading feminist intellectual of the early twentieth century. The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories makes available the fullest selection ever printed of her short fiction, featuring the pioneering feminist masterpiece of the title, her stories contemporary with The Yellow Wallpaper, the fiction from her neglected California period (1890-95), and her later explorations of "the woman of fifty." Together, these impressive works throw new light on Gilman as a writer of fiction.
