Katherine O'Flaherty (1850-1904), known by her married name Kate Chopin, was an American author of short stories and novels. Her works appeared in literary magazines and popular American periodicals of the day, including Vogue and The Atlantic. In 1899, her second novel, The Awakening, was published to much outrage and harsh criticism based upon moral, rather than literary, standards.
“Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.” American short-story writer Kate Chopin’s tale “The Story of an Hour” was first published in Vogue in 1894 and has endured to become one of her most beloved works. Upon learning of her husband’s death, Louise Mallard considers how this fateful event will change her life, meditating on the ideas of loss, freedom, and the bounds of marriage. “The Story of an Hour” was brought to life by Tina Rathbone as a part of the PBS anthology series American Playhouse. Be it mystery, romance, drama, comedy, politics, or history, great literature stands the test of time.
