Kate Chopin (1851-1904) was an American author best known, revered, and reviled for her 1899 novel The Awakening and its sexually aware and shocking female protagonist. Her fiction's emphasis on women's independence and passions was controversial enough during her lifetime for both it and her to remain relatively obscure until over half a century after her death.
