What claim does Gilman make about 19th century attitudes towards women’s mental health issues? How does she use stream of consciousness and point of view to make this claim?

C. Women in the 19th century often played a lesser role in marriage.

Explanation:

This is one of the themes that is expressed in Gilman's story "The Yellow Wallpaper." In this story, the protagonist is a married woman who is sick. However, her husband is a doctor, and he prescribes her absolute rest, while avoiding all mental stimulation. Although the woman feels increasingly worse due to the treatment, her lesser role in marriage means that her husband does not listen to her and ignores her opinion and her symptoms.
