i am mostly fond of "the awakening" in this collection of short stories, it's the only reason i gave the entire book a rating higher than 1 star. there are plenty of interesting stories in here as well, but kate chopin's racism is very prominent throughout the book that it makes it difficult to focus on anything else most of the time (as expected from an author of this time period).Â
in my opinion, the only stories worth reading are the awakening, the story of an hour, & a pair of silk stockings.Â

Wow I love Edna. Sheâs a hoot. I laughed a lot. (Though I think this book is so much funnier in current context and much of what I laughed at wasnât even actually meant to be funny) I want to read this book seven times all with different lenses and focuses. Part of me is like âwoo girl powerâ and part of me is like âohhh get this girl a therapistâ and all of me is definitely not a fan of the way servants are talked about. Not cool. Thatâs why it canât be 5 stars.Â
