“Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one’s life.”
Kate Chopin was enjoying wide popularity as a writer, mainly of short stories, when her second novel, The Awakening,
was published to widespread criticism of its immorality. A wake-up call
to women all over the country, this landmark novel of early American
feminism tells of a Louisiana wife who discovers the strength of her own
sexuality and tries to wrench it from the hands of a patriarchal
society. And just as Edna Pontellier is ostracized for trying to master
her own sexual fate, so did Chopin’s reputation suffer after she wrote
this book. Today The Awakening is considered a masterpiece and,
along with Chopin’s short stories, has set a standard for younger
generations of women who have learned to value their independence and
authenticity.
Edited and with an Introduction by Barbara H. Solomon and with a New Afterword by Roxane Gay.
