An old "pre-feminist" author of the 19th century. I don't understand why my teachers need to force her stuff on us, we read a bunch of her short stories last year, we read more this year, and now we're reading "The Awakening" which I already read when I was 12 (hated it then too). Like that one story we read, "The Story of an Hour," where a woman's husband dies and literally in the story she's sad for like five minutes and then it's all about how she has her freedom now that she's a widow and has no husband to attend to. THE MAN JUST DIED and all she can think about is HERSELF? Or in the book I'm reading right now, the main character kills herself at the end (yeah I spoiled the ending for alll those who haven't read it), and she has two small children and people LOVE this book. How do you love a book (or a character) that supports something like that? Bleh. Women's rights my butt.
