In this episode we’re sampling Kate Chopin.

1. ‘The Kiss’ is a short story about a calculating young woman managing a love triangle and  highlights themes of irony, pragmatism over romantic love, and the manipulation of social roles. 
2. Kate Chopin’s ‘A Pair of Silk Stockings’ explores the conflict between a woman's duty to family and her personal desires for independence and self-identity, common in Chopin's work. 
3. "A Reflection" is a brief, philosophical meditation contrasting the relentless "moving procession of human energy" with the stillness of those left behind.
