By complete dumb luck or a potentially subconscious leaning, GC McKay's The Lone Drunk Readeth selected a piece of feminist literature for this week with Kate Chopin's The Story of an Hour, which just happened to coincide with International Women's Day. So, yeah... yay for me. This piece is one of her many works which fought against the social conventions of the time, usually making a social commentary regarding the freedom of women and their limitations within society during the late 19th century. It's a short and sweet number, beautifully structured and a perfect example of the less is more approach to quick, to the point storytelling. A delicate and elegantly told tale depicting the harsh realities of the time. Check it out! www.gmckay.com contact@gcmckay.com Twitter: @garethcmckay
