First published in 1899, The Awakening was a work of literature well ahead of its time. This under-taught novel is a great way to introduce your students to feminist theory and to show them how far society has come since the start of the twentieth century. Edna Pontellier, a prototypical feminist, holds unorthodox views about her role in New Orleans’s male-dominated society and acts upon them in ways that will leave students wondering if she acted correctly or not.
