de Kate Chopin


Acerca de este libro

The Awakening by Kate Chopin is an important work. Published in Chicago in 1899, this is often hailed as a precursor to modern feminist literature. ⁠

“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”⁠

Resumen

Discontented with her comfortable but stagnant marriage, a New Orleans woman on vacation with her family meets several remarkable women and two desirable men who set her off on a different and difficult path: to live according to her own needs rather than in accordance with the rigid standards of society. First published in 1899, this book was rediscovered in the 1960s and pronounced a feminist classic for its open treatment of a woman's search for self-understanding.
