The Story of an Hour

Kate Chopin lived in the height of the Victorian Era and bore witness to the suppression women experienced in the late 19th century.

This joy comes from the feeling of freedom she is experiencing for the first time in her life. Hope replaces the despair that was to fill the years to come.
