"i read it a bit earlier today, it was alright. But i was expecting some disaster the entire way through. like someone stole her gloves,and she feels guilty. But no... she seems to kind of change half way through, with a single pair of stockings she becomes this sort of woman of the finery. When before she was worried about little kids. If anyone would be kind enough to clear up the ending that would be a big help, i still dont quite understand it. *sigh* poor stupid me! /.__.\"
"Normally I don't enjoy much from feminist culture or anything with too much purple language and girly stuff but some things are genuinely good. I didn't like all the stories, out of all of them I only liked two (the one about the guy who liked that insensitive ditz, and the story of the title). I had to give them four stars for those two though because I could relate to them. "A Pair of Silk Stockings" particularly, because sometimes if I come into a bit of money I like to go out and do things like I'm rich, 'cause you only live once... blah blah. Read it.
"The Story of An Hour" was HILARIOUS though. Despite the fact it was flowery and was written by a woman who honestly thought all husbands were evil (okay, so "The Yellow Wallpaper" and Virginia Woolf's husband and doctors who diagnosed women with nervous hearts and prescribed more time with the children aside) it WAS funny. I admit it."
