Story of an Hour
Kate Chopin"There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime..." -Kate Chopin, "Story of an Hour"
