The book

Cover of The Awakening by Kate Chopin

The Awakening

Kate Chopin · 1899 · novel

Kate Chopin's 1899 novel about Edna Pontellier, a married woman in Louisiana who decides she'd like to have her own life, thanks. Critics savaged it, and Chopin never published another novel. It's now on every American lit syllabus, so she won, just late.
