What Are The Similarities Between Gilman And Kate Chopin

Writers such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Kate Chopin have been widely viewed today as early feminist writers whose work often addressed the social injustices and inequalities that women faced during their time, the second half of the nineteenth century. According to literary critic Elaine Showalter, Chopin’s stories and other feminist writers of the time, were written during a period in which women writers were able to “reject the accommodating postures of femininity and to use literature to dramatize the ordeals of wronged womanhood.” Do you think Chopin’s and/or Gilman’s stories reject the “postures of femininity”? What “ordeals of wronged womanhood” are being dramatized in these stories?
