Novelist and short story writer Kate Chopin (1851-1904) was the first American woman to deal with women's roles as wives and mothers. The Awakening (1899), her most famous novel, concerns a woman dissatisfied with her indifferent husband. She eventually gives in to her desire for other men and commits adultery.
It is a searing indictment of the religious and social pressures brought to bear on women who transgress restrictive Victorian codes of behavior.
