Summary: Agony of Awakening
Review: This book was interestingly informative in providing a view of society in the 19th century. Women were treated as property and had little to no option in doing as they wished. Kate Chopin's character Edna fights to break free from this entrapment and discovers herself, only to find that it is too late. The New Orleans setting is accurately depicted by Kate Chopin who actually wrote this book while living in New Orleans. The actual dialect of New Orleans society is included in the story; a mixture of french, english, and creole. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel about a women's sudden realization that there is more to life than just living.

Summary: great book about individuality
Review: This is a great book about the importance of self expression and individuality, it was way ahead of her time.

'The Awakening' is about a ninteenth century woman named Edna, and through seeing the restrictions of marriage, and the expression of art, seeks independence, but as a consequence becomes isolated.

I loved this book alot, it is a must read for anyone who can read.
