At the end of the nineteenth century, Chopin tried to describe women's feelings and emotions in relation to men and children and their own sexual desire. This is considered to be offended by the then high society readers. After the death of her mother in 1885, she stopped the practice of Catholicism and began to accept Darwinism's view of human evolution. In nature rather than in the church to seek God, Chopin a lot of description of the theme of love and love. She is sad for the American writers, that the environment caused by the limitations of art hindered a complete and instinctive narrative. Those works that challenge traditional social behavior, such as “one hour story”, are often rejected by magazine editors. However, more than half a century later, feminist critics have vigorously advocated.
