There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name

Nuns, maidens, adventurers - with electricity, The Story of an Hour collects stories of female freedom, as Kate Chopin asks the question- what will emancipation feel like for her, looking at the horizon and the future, to the frontier?

Katherine O'Flaherty (1850-1904), known by her married name Kate Chopin, was an American author of short stories and novels. In 1899, her second novel, The Awakening, was published to much outrage and harsh criticism based upon moral, rather than literary, standards.
