The Awakening and Other Stories

Softcover

The works of Kate Chopin were nearly forgotten for much of the twentieth century, but her popularity made a resurgence in the 1970s when readers and scholars turned their attention to early womens literature. The Awakening, her best-known novel, is set in the Gulf Coast region around New Orleans, and is critically acclaimed for its style and for being ahead of its time in discussing important womens issues. Also included in this volume are several of Chopins short stories, including Dsires Baby and The Story of an Hour.
