The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck
A proud, capable woman channels her energy into tending a small plot of chrysanthemums on her husband’s farm, finding in the blooms a rare sense of purpose and beauty; when a traveling salesman flatters her and she gives him cuttings, his apparent appreciation awakens hopes of wider recognition, but she later discovers the flowers discarded along the road, and the betrayal deepens her sense of confinement, frustration, and longing within a marriage and social role that limit her life.
