Why Do All Societies Believe That Women Were Inferior To Men?

No and you are wrong are some of the phrases the narrator in the story “The Yellow
Wallpaper” was told by her own husband. The thinking of husbands back then to now have not changed much. The expectation men have is for the women to stay home, clean, take care of the children, etc. They assume the women is number two in a marriage and has no say when in reality they are equals. In a marriage both man and women should support each other, have trust in each other, and above all listen to each other. John the husband of the narrator does the complete opposite. He only believes that what he says is true and what his wife is feeling about being ill is inaccurate. Now throughout the story the narrator tries to express herself to her
