Tales Well Told: Women Breaking Loose

TALES WELL TOLD

Women Breaking Loose: a double bill,  by Kate Chopin and Edna Ferber

Says LaRue, “This pairing of stories by Louisianan Kate Chopin and Ohioan Edna Ferber explores in fiction two 
dilemmas that women still face daily: 
Which comes first, me or my family? Where do I belong, at home or at work?” 

In Chopin’s poignant “A Pair of Silk Stockings,” widowed Mrs. Sommers takes an impromptu holiday from home. 
In Ferber’s “Representing T. A. Buck,” divorced “lady salesman” Emma McChesney longs for life off the road. In both women - our ancestors - we see ourselves.
