The Awakening and Selected Stories by Kate Chopin
4.0
solid 4.25
The Awakening was a 3.75 for me, but there were other short stories in this collection that pack a punch, especially for the time of publishing (late 1800s). Themes of women wanting freedom from marriage and societal expectations, a mother's responsibilities vs. her wants/needs, and how culture shapes our lives. I'll be returning to these short stories in the future.
