Synopsis
Kate Chopin's The Awakening is the story of a young woman living comfortably in New Orleans, with her husband and sons, who finds it difficult to accept the social straight jacket in which she senses herself entrapped. She fights back, with unpredictable consequences. Infamous in its time, The Awakening is a radical work of fiction about every woman's freedom and independence.
