Beschreibung

Kate Chopin (born Katherine O'Flaherty; February 8, 1850 - August 22, 1904) was an American author of short stories and novels based in Louisiana. She is considered by scholars to have been a forerunner of American 20th-century feminist authors of Southern or Catholic background, such as Zelda Fitzgerald, and she is one of the more frequently read and recognized writers of Louisiana Creole heritage. She is best known today for her 1899 novel The Awakening. Of maternal French and paternal Irish descent, Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She married and moved with her husband to New Orleans. They later lived in the country in Cloutierville, Louisiana. From 1892 to 1895, Chopin wrote short stories for both children and adults that were published in national magazines.

Autor

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American author known for her pioneering exploration of women's independence and complex social themes. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, she began writing fiction in the late 19th century, drawing heavily on her experiences in Louisiana. Chopin's works often examine the constraints of societal expectations and the inner lives of her characters. Her most famous novel, The Awakening (1899), shocked contemporary audiences with its frank depiction of female autonomy and sensuality. Though controversial in her time, Chopin is now celebrated as a forerunner of modern feminist literature.
