The specific objective of this study to analyse Gilman's short study, "The Yellow Wallpaper" (1892) from an ecofeminist perspective.
In literature, the relative importance of feminism has been subject to considerable discussions, and few studies have investigated the works related to women's issues from an ecofeminist perspective. Recently, most studies have focused on Charlotte Perkins Gilman's contribution to feminism. Ecofeminism, which emerged as a new literary-critical approach trying to put the women and the ecological problems in the centre of the universe, occupies an important place together with other ecocentric approaches. Ecofeminism integrates ecology and feminism into one and seeks to draw parallels between the exploitation of the environment and the exploitation of women.
Various approaches emerged in literature to raise awareness against ecological problems. Ecological problems have always existed in the world so far, and they seem to exist for a long time in the future.
