About The Awakening & Selected Stories“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”When The Awakening by US author Kate Chopin was first published in 1899, it stunned readers with its frank portrayal of the inner world of Edna Pontellier, and its daring criticisms of the limits of marriage and motherhood.Set in New Orleans and the Louisiana Gulf coast, the novel explores Edna's rejection of her domestic role, and her passionate quest for spiritual, sexual, and artistic freedom. Now regarded as among the boldest and earliest examples of feminist fiction, The Awakening is included alongside a selection of Chopin’s short stories.
