Kate Chopin manages to be more progressive than so many of the “classic” authors of her era.

“She had more physical strength than most men, and made her patch of cotton and corn and tobacco like the best of them. But of the world beyond the bayou she had long known nothing, save what her morbid fancy conceived.”

Kathe Chopin where had you been all my life? Her criticisms towards marriage (and men) stand the test of time (sadly).

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

Interesting stories mostly set during the height of American slavery. Some lovely characters and tales. A little difficult to read due to the combination of chopped up French and slang of the era, but you get the jist of what is being said most of the time.
