10. Kate Chopin – The Awakening
1899
• This story of a woman's struggle
with oppressive social
structures received much public
contempt at its first release.
Chopin's depiction of a married
woman, bound to her family and
with no way to assert a fulfilling
life of her own, has become a
foundation for feminism and a
classic account of gender crises
in the late Victorian era.
