Guided questions What does Charlotte Perkins Gilman's story "The Yellow Wall-paper" suggest about middle-class women's place and role(s) in this society?

Context For many years I suffered from a severe and continuous nervous breakdown tending to melancholia-and beyond. During about the third year of this trouble I went, in devout faith and some faint stir of hope, to a noted specialist in nervous diseases, the best known in the country. This wise man put me to bed and applied the rest cure, to which a still good physique responded so promptly that he concluded that there was nothing much the matter with me, and sent me home with solemn advice to 'live as domestic a life as possible,' to 'have but two hours' intelligent life a day,' and 'never to touch pen, brush or pencil again as long as I lived.' This was in 1887… —Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "Why I Wrote the Yellow Wall-paper," 1913 

Context Every kind of creature is developed by the exercise of its functions. If denied the exercise of its functions, it can not develop in the fullest degree. —Charlotte Perkins Stetson (Gilman),  from Hearing of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., January 28, 1896

"domestic ideology" positioned American middle class women as the spiritual and moral leaders of their home.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton convened in Seneca Falls, NY, for the nation's first convention to discuss and promote women's rights and roles.  Adherents of "separate spheres" ideology turned to popular media such as magazines, advertisements, advice literature, and political cartoons to retain the image of women as the queen of the home.

What is the significance of the woman behind the yellow wall-paper?
