Kate Chopin's groundbreaking depiction of a woman who
dares to defy the expectations of society in the pursuit of her
desireWhen The Awakening was first published in 1899,
charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it
into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation.
But a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate
Chopin's great achievement. Through careful, subtle changes
of style, Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a
young wife and mother, who - with tragic consequences -
refuses to be caged by married and domestic life, and claims
for herself moral and erotic freedom.For more than seventy
