A brown-bag lunch discussion of the short story “The Yellow Wall-Paper” will take place from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2, in Room 2032 of the University of Iowa Main Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a 19th century writer, was discouraged from pursuing a career to preserve her health and wrote the story as a challenge to the medical profession and the relationship between science and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
