I liked this one a lot. the awakening is a collection of short stories which includes the awakening, désirée's baby, lilacs, miss mcenders and a pair of silk stockings.
the awakening was my favourite. I'm sure there are a lot of women who don't like edna seeing as she puts herself before her children and that makes her a bad mother in their eyes. I don't think it makes her a bad mother. she's an individual outside of her children and I very much enjoyed seeing her self discovery.
