Kate Chopin's startling portrayal of Edna Pontellier, a young,
upper-class woman who rejects her duties as a wife and mother,
shocked readers upon its release in 1899. In lyrical and
impressionistic prose, Chopin conveys "a part of female experience
that had never before been acknowledged" (Barbara Kingsolver) -the
inner turmoil of a young woman unable to find a way of living in
the world that accommodates the person she has discovered herself
to be. Its unflinching truth continues to resonate with readers
even now, cementing The Awakening as Chopin's most famous and
influential work.
