They are thought to be ahead of their time. They have refused to accept the traditional roles and conventions of the society and have shown the deepest drives of their hearts. Chopin has explored these female souls as a woman writer. Her first attempt is to highlight the sense of female freedom and a true understanding of their nature in her writings. The purpose of this article is to analyze the representation of female sexuality and freedom in Kate Chopin’s selected short stories entitled “The Story of an Hour,” “The Storm,”and “A Pair of Silk Stockings”.
