El despertar

by Kate Chopin

Overview

La publicación de "El despertar" en 1899 desencadenó una cascada de críticas negativas que mostraban los condicionantes y prejuicios morales de los críticos norteamericanos de fin de siglo. Considerada a menudo como la Madame Bovary criolla, la protagonista, Edna Pontellier, es una mujer burguesa que entra en crisis al poner en duda el papel del matrimonio y la maternidad, manifiesta abiertamente su deseo sexual y decide romper con toda la seguridad que le otorga su privilegiado estatus social.

About the Author

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American author of short stories and novels. One of the first books to truthfully write about women's lives, Kate Chopin's The Awakening is considered a quintessential work of Southern literature and a bold foray into early feminism.
