"The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin was first published in 1894 and is widely recognized as one of Chopin's most popular works. The story follows Mrs. Mallard as the news of her husband's death is broken to her, with a surprise twist ending - so a spoiler alert is in effect! In this episode, we discuss Chopin as a pioneer of feminist literature and symbols within the story.

Hannah (again) discusses the medical background of Mrs. Mallard's heart condition and Jon stands up for women's rights!
