Neste conto de 1895, Kate Chopin retrata a ruína de um mundo composto aparentemente por vidas perfeitas nas fazendas da Louisiana devido ao mistério que envolve um bebê mestiço. A autora aborda o tema do racismo por meio de personagens que agem de forma irracional quando confrontados por situações complexas em termos raciais e pelas suas próprias crenças.

Kate Chopin, cujas histórias foram merecidamente aclamadas, escolheu para este conto o cenário da área rural da Acadiana Francesa na Louisiana. Nela, o amor, o casamento e principalmente a condição feminina no século 19 são retratados como uma pintura cheia de luzes e sombras.

Neste conto de 1894, um homem convida um antigo colega de escola para ficar com ele e sua esposa em sua fazenda. A mulher descobre sentimentos confusos em relação a esse estranho.

O despertar, romance em que uma mulher casada desperta para a busca da sua liberdade, foi massacrado pela crítica na época da sua publicação em 1899. Ao abordar temas como sexualidade feminina e infidelidade, além de questionar mitos da maternidade, a obra foi considerada vulgar e caiu no ostracismo, só voltando a ser publicada na década de 1970, quando descoberta pelo movimento feminista.

Kate Chopin's The Story of an Hour is a classic example that some short stories can say all they need to do in just a short time. This story remains tantalizingly ambiguous, perhaps because so little is said, and so much merely hinted at.

The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published in 1899. Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension.

The titles in this collection include: "The Storm" by Kate Chopin, "Life In the Iron Mills" by Rebecca Harding Davis, "A Humble Romance", "Two Old Lovers", "On the Walpole Road", "An Honest Soul" and "A Conflict Ended" all by Mary Wilkins Freeman, and "Between Two Shores" by Ellen Glasgow.

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was a Louisiana-based author of short stories and novels, and is considered a forerunner of 20th-century feminist authors from the South. In "The Storm", a man seeks shelter at the home of his former lover, a visit which reignites their passion, while "Her Letters" is a story about the husband of a woman who dies before she is able to destroy the letters written to her by a lover. In "Unexpected", Randall and Dorothea fall in and out of love; "The Locket" tells the tale of two young lovers during the American Civil War; and "Kiss" has a humorous twist.

Edna Pontellier has everything that a woman and mother should want - two wonderful sons, a husband, and good financial fortune. But still, she feels like something may be missing. While vacationing with her family, she meets a young man who shows affection and opens her mind to adventure and freedom.

Set in New Orleans at the close of the 19th century, The Awakening follows Edna Pontellier, who, while vacationing with her husband and their two sons, finds liberation from her prudish behavior and repressed emotions and desires. At the coastal resort of Madame Lebrun, Edna struggles to reconcile her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. 

This collection of nine short stories takes the listener back to 19th-century Louisiana. Universal themes of love and death are intertwined with the issues of slavery and racism. Each story, steeped in the religious and social culture of the bayou, holds an unexpected turn or two.

The Awakening is an 1899 novel by Kate Chopin set in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast at the end of the 19th century. It is widely seen as a seminal work of early feminism which put the spotlight on women's issues. The story is about Edna Pontellier, the wife of a New Orleans businessman, who falls in love with Robert Lebrun, a man she meets at a resort on the Gulf of Mexico. When the family returns to New Orleans, Edna isolates herself from society and withdraws from some of the duties customarily associated with motherhood.

In this story of a woman’s plan to get a wealthy husband, Nathalie’s plans are almost spoiled by the action of a family friend, but she explains the situation on time. In the end, she marries Mr Brantain and his millions.

Randall and Dorothea seem to be very much in love, but Dorothea hesitates, not wishing to lose her independence. She eventually goes to the countryside, as an affirmation of her freedom and refusal top submit to societal control.
