Can someone explain this Quote!?

Question

"There would be no powerful will bending her in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have the right to impose a private will upon a fellow creature".

Answer 1

Is this not from Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour"?

The sense is: Now that her husband, Mr. Mallard, has died, no one would insistently force her to act. Both men and women think they have the right to force such actions on other men and women.

It's nicely appropriate, isn't it, that the wife's name is Mrs. Mallard? It goes along with "creature."
