The Awakening and Selected Stories of Kate Chopin
āPerhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all oneās life.ā
Kate Chopin was enjoying wide popularity as a writer, mainly of short stories, when her second novel, The Awakening, was published to widespread criticism of its immorality. A wake-up call to women all over the country, this landmark novel of early American feminism tells of a Louisiana wife who discovers the strength of her own sexuality and tries to wrench it from the hands of a patriarchal society. And just as Edna Pontellier is ostracized for trying to master her own sexual fate, so did Chopinās reputation suffer after she wrote this book. Today The Awakening is considered a masterpiece and, along with Chopinās short stories, has set a standard for younger generations of women who have learned to value their independence and authenticity.
