The Awakening and Selected Stories of Kate Chopin
Kate Chopin
This collection features Kate Chopin's landmark novel, "The Awakening," which was a work of early American feminism published to widespread criticism for its immorality. The story centers on Edna Pontellier, a Louisiana wife who discovers the strength of her own sexuality and struggles to wrench it from the hands of a patriarchal society, ultimately confronting the stifling bonds of her marriage and the expectations of motherhood. The volume also includes a selection of Chopin's other esteemed short stories.
