The main objective of this work is to analyze features of the feminist discourse in the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper, published in 1892, understanding the possibilities of this discourse at the time it was written. In this way, we perceive his contribution to the movement that was strengthened in the 20th century, during the 60s, thus observing the different discursive formations present in the narrative. For this, a research was carried out based on the theories of Franch Discourse Analysis, which include the Association between the works of Michel Pêcheux and Michel Foucault, making it possible to relate the concepts of utterance, subject, history and language with the reflection proposed by the short story. Thorough the reflections of historian Margareth Rago, it is objective to analyze the short story from a current feminist view based on Foucauldian ideas. The research aims to contribute to the construction of a vision that emphasizes the importance of feminism as a movement that can show that its propagation in literature is essential for the progress of the feminist struggle today.
