In both papers “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Perkin Gilma and “Story of An Hour” by Kate Chopin uses feminist literature to communicate about healthcare. Both papers discuss women being in the heart of the healthcare system. On the Yellow, WallPaper illustrates the 19th-century attitude on women physical and mental health state of women (Haney?Peritz, Janice, 115). In this story, a woman is prohibited from working and she is encouraged to eat well and get a lot of fresh air with an objective of helping her to quickly recuperate from depression. In “The story of an hour” Mrs Mallard had heart trouble and great care had to be taken on revealing the death news of her husband. She then seems to suffer from mental health and spend most of her time inside her house. Her sister begs her to open the door so she cannot die inside the house. Great care is taken to women health issues in both papers.

Both the papers are written in the first-person perspective. Both narrators speak about the two women in both papers and about their mental health. On the yellow paper, the story of a couple moving to rent an old mansion and moving to the upstairs nursery for better healthcare of the wife shows how the issue of women healthcare can be taken seriously. On the other paper of story of an hour, great care is taken to inform Mrs Mallard about the death of her husband in order not to worsen her heart health problems.

On the account of marriage experience and men, roles are clearly discussed on both the papers. On the Yellow Wallpaper, the husband roles are taking care of her sick wife and make sure that she quickly recuperate from her condition. On the other hand, Mr Mallard was supposed to be a great pillar on her wife at the time she suffered from heart problem but unfortunately, he dies and this worsens Mrs Mallard health status. This shows that men roles in the society cannot be underrated (Osamor 191)
