The Awakening by Kate Chopin
4.0
"I am no longer one of Mr. Pontelliere's possessions to dispose of or not. I give myself where I choose. If he were to say, 'Here Robert, take her and be happy; she is yours,' I should laugh at you both.”
Edna's quest for independence and her struggle to break free from the roles of motherhood and wifehood made for a very compelling read. Truly a revolutionary piece of fiction, considering the age in which it was written. The ending served as a tragic reminder that there was no real way to freedom for a woman in those times.
