About this ebook
The Awakening takes readers on a philosophical discovery of female freedom and particularly its sexual awareness. This book describes Edna Pontellier, a Victorian woman who breaking through the role appointed to her by society. She discovers her own identity and acknowledges her emotional and sexual desires. Chopin's meticulous observations lead us to a veritable masterpiece of descriptions and fundamental questions (feminism, patriarchy, motherhood, women’s rights ...). This novel is worth reading for numerous reasons. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's struggles without condescension and prefigures American modernism. If it is true that the situation of women’s human rights has improved recently, women still face violence, discrimination, economic inequality in society. So, this great novel is worth reading.
