Lecture 90: The Awakening by Kate Chopin

Remember this absolute CORNERSTONE of feminist literature?? Turns out this classic is just as important and juicy as when it was published---IN 1899! Kimberly was honestly kind of shocked by how iconoclastic, gorgeous and modern this novel feels. Whether the book is a women's-studies-seminar favorite or new to you, indulge in this exploration of one woman's fascinating experience of society, domesticity, maternity and PASSION in late-1800s New Orleans.
