Gilman experienced what Jane did in terms of being treated with The Rest Cure for her illness and stated that she “came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over” (Gilman). In the story at the end, Jane’s husband walks in and sees her ripping off the wallpaper and faints. This part in the story illustrated that men were realizing that they were blinded by their own power and they were actually hurting women. Gilman states, “ I wrote The Yellow Wallpaper, with its embellishments and additions, to carry out the ideal... and sent a copy to the physician who so nearly drove me mad. He never acknowledged it” (Gilman). The story was a living proof that women were affected by the mistreatment of men, but people disregarded this and argued that the story not be published for other
