Thesis on "The Yellow Wall-Paper"

In Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wall-Paper" the woman in the story shows symptoms of having postpartum depression, despite the common belief that she is being driven crazy by her controlling husband.

What I want my three main points to be in the paper are:
1. Use example from text to show how she could have had postpartum.
2. Show how her husband and the people around her did not help her get over her depression.
3. Then I want to show how some people do no agree with this and say the story is about men controlling women, (feminist approach).

Is this a good thesis for what i want to write about?
