Negative Positive
Title: Incredible read
Review: Although Kate Chopin did not publish much in her lifetime, she made a strong impact. I especially loved Awaking. It hit a chord for several reasons. First, I was amazed to read something from 1899 with such a strong conviction toward women's rights, with such a realistic ending. Second, I think there are so many of us females today struggling with our own identities. I loved that the heroine broke from the norm and persued a life of her own (rather than living for her two children or the opinions of her husband). Third, I got a taste of an historical and diverse Louisiana. This is the story of Edna Pontellier and her journey toward self-awareness/discovery through one summer of freedom from her husband and children. I especially loved that she was flawed enough in the end to defy social/familial convention to commit the ulimate self-driven act.
