Jane Jones had advertised in the Yellow Pages that she was able to provide representation in uncontested divorces, wills and estates, as well as other services. It is outside the paralegal’s scope of practice to deal with matters involving wills or family law, including divorce.

Kathleen M. Streater is author of the article “Adele Ratignolle: Kate Chopin’s Feminist at Home in The Awakening” which was published in the peer reviewed journal, The Midwest Quarterly. After doing an extensive search of Streater’s background, it does not appear she has written any other articles. Although not an expert on the subject of Chopin, Streater makes a unique and convincing argument in her article. She uses expert quotes to bolster her position that “to focus solely on Edna’s radical feminism is to limit Chopin’s exploration of feminism itself” (409). This argument is unique, as the author describes, because many critics dismiss Adele all together as a feminist. Chopin’s depiction of Adele as a “mother-woman” muddies the water because to “become a wife and mother is, on some level, to capitulate one’s self to patriarchal systems” (406).…
