... American author Kate Chopin, by comparison, spoke loudly and clearly as a female writer about the role of women in the late 1800’s. Chopin, through her stories “The Story of an Hour,” and “The Storm” demonstrated how strong women can be as they pursue paths that are not within the social norms. ...
Kate Chopin wrote at the turn of the century when woman’s rights were restricted to those allowed by the husband. ... Kate Chopin used her short stories to express her opinions; through Louise Mallard in “The Story of an Hour” who envisions a greater means of happiness and freedom though her husbands death and Calixta in “The Storm” who, as a married woman, feels little or no remorse towards her infidelity. Could it be that Kate Chopin was a hardcore feminist that just could not accept the reality of women’s place in society or did she know that society would one day consider men and women as equals?
