rebellion in the yellow wallpaper

The biggest act of rebellion in "The Yellow Wallpaper" is the narrator writing in her journal.  As a woman in that time, she was expected to stay home and do what her husband says.  In the story, the narrator's husband does not want the narrator to write or to work.  With the narrator already feeling nervous and anxious about being in a strange house, she feels those activities could help her.  The narrator starts keeping a journal. In her journal, the narrator becomes fixated with writing about the almost menacing yellow wallpaper in the master bedroom.
