The Awakening and Other Stories by Kate Chopin
To all outside appearances, Edna Pontellier is a respectable married woman, but one lazy summer vacation and an apparently harmless infatuation will push Edna beyond this quiet, settled life, placing her directly at odds with society's expectations of what a woman should be.
Kate Chopin (1850–1904) was an American novelist and short-story writer best known for her startling 1899 novel, The Awakening. Considered Chopin’s masterpiece, The Awakening was subject to harsh criticism at the time for its frank approach to sexual themes. It was rediscovered in the 1960s and has since become a standard of American literature, appreciated for its sophistication and artistry.
