About this book
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.”
“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”
Summary
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.
First line
A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over: Allez vous-en!
