Awakening and Other Stories

In 1899, Kate Chopin stunned the world with The Awakening, her tale of a woman who seeks personal fulfillment in a relationship outside her tradition-bound marriage. Chopin's pioneering novel served as a touchstone for many modernist works and is considered a landmark in feminist literature. This collection features Chopin's full novel plus a selection of her short stories steeped in the colour of her native Louisiana.
