As others
have mentioned, the time period is a major factor when considering this question. For example,
Kate Chopin who wrote during the late nineteenth/early twentieth century, depicted her female
characters as trapped by rigid social constraints. Louise Mallared, theof her popular story
"The Story of an Hour, feels utterly trapped by her marriage and gains a sense of ultimate
freedom upon learning that her husband is dead. Other works by Chopin similarly represent
female characters.
