"I read this book way back, 1975 I think. For my Women's Lit class, and the book has stayed with me all these years. A product of it's time, I associate it with Ibsen's "A Dolls House". The fate of the protagonist is a sad one, but for the time...I do suggest you read it for yourself. " — Stuart (5 out of 5 stars)

" Dry and painful to read. The Awakening, a droll recounting of personal mistakes, will surely put anyone to sleep who attempts to read it. "
" Read this for American Realism and Naturalism. Slightly frustrating story in several aspects. "
" Should've "woken up" a bit earlier. "
" I probably need to re-read this as an adult as I read it as a teenager and I just recall that it felt pointless and the ending infuriated me as I felt the main character was "coping out." "
" I liked this book when it was assigned in high school, and I actually got really into it. "
" I read this book in high school, and I fell in love with it. It's a difficult and sad story but it really resonated with me. Highly recommended. "
" History says this book is important because it's one of the earliest feminist novels in literature. I say it's one of the most depressing books I've ever read. "
" my favorite novel of all time. perfect daydream of a woman and love "
Kate Chopin (1851–1904) was born in St. Louis. After marrying, she moved to Louisiana, where she raised six children. Chopin earned acclaim for her finely crafted short stories about the Creole and Cajun people of Louisiana. But her novel, The Awakening, was condemned for its controversial themes, which foreshadowed later feminist literature.
