The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin
5.0

"What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in the face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!"

A stunning piece of feminism literature by Kate Chopin! The work is quite short yet also bold and a groundbreaking stance on feminism in the late 1800s. This work seems to perfectly encapsulate this whole woman's life and her feelings, with just enough information to be intrigued, yet withholds just enough, making you crave more. The prose is beautifully written and Chopin's use of imagery and symbolism are completely breathtaking. Truly one of the finest pieces of feminist literature I have encountered thus far!
