	PAL: Kate Chopin (1851-1904)
		After her husband’s death, Kate then turned to a writing career for several reasons: she was a insatiable reader, she needed to provide for her large family, and she was encouraged by her family doctor to pursue her passion of writing as a relief from her loss (Skaggs 3).
		She points out that although Chopin’s book was banned and harshly received in her time, readers are “re-reading or discovering for the first time with astonishment and wonder and downright pleasure, [what] ruined Kate Chopin’s career—and quite possibly contributed to the end of her life” (16).
		As Chopin allegedly suffered from poor health in the years preceding her death (17), one might conjecture both women were victims of something in their family medical history which doctors in their day did not know about or understand, such as female heart attacks or strokes.

	Footprints in Cloutierville LiteraryTraveler.com
		Kate was notorious for her unconventional manner of dress, especially in her horseback riding apparel, described as a " a fantastic affair a close fitting habit of blue cloth, the train fastened up at the side to disclose an embroidered skirt, and the little feet encased in pretty boots with high heels.
		Although Kate is known for writing about unfulfilled women, especially housewives, who need and struggle for freedom and truth, it appears Kate loved Oscar very much and he gave her the freedom and independence she craved.
		The Chopin Home and Bayou Folk Museum are well worth a visit where for a few moments you can forget time and perhaps catch a glimpse of her walking, as she often did, through the town on the dusty road leaving her footprints behind for those willing to see them.

	Kate Chopin as Feminist: Subverting the French Androcentric Influence
		Chopin's simultaneous, and seemingly paradoxical, adherence to and subversion of the androcentric French influence is clearly apparent in a story which appears to have suffered much neglect from critics on the whole, a 1894 piece entitled "Her Letters" [3].
		Chopin intended to bring together in publication the first six of her Maupassant translations and the proposed title for this collection is very telling in terms of where her interests lay at the time.
		Chopin, it seems, is conforming to male convention - here is the very portrayal of woman as monster established by her literary forefather: woman as killer of man, the key to his demise.

	Kate Chopin (1851-1904)
		Chopin's irony is too subtle for some students, who may see her female characters as cold, unloving, unfeeling women.
		Since Chopin wrote everything she produced during the last decade of the nineteenth century but was too advanced in her thinking to be accepted until the last quarter of the twentieth century, she offers a fine vehicle for exploring the intellectual and aesthetic tides of American thinking and American literature.
		Chopin seems to have believed that men and women alike have great difficulty reconciling their need to live as discrete individuals with their need to live in close relationship with a mate; these conflicting needs lie at the center of her work.

		Kate Chopin's The Awakening is a frank look at a woman's life at the turn of the 19th century.
		Chopin's use of a culturally foreign protagonist—Edna was a protestant from Kentucky, rather than a French-speaking Catholic Creole like her husband—casts cultural differences into even sharper relief.
		Even though Chopin did not claim to be a suffragist, study of the Suffragist movement is very relevant to her body of work.

		Little did Chopin and others know that this would become a classic, a prime example of the beginning of the women's movement and the beginning of literature in the form of women's erotica, which is now so popular there are several imprints devoted to sensual stories written by women for women.
		Her motivation is not clear, possibly because Kate Chopin takes the actions of a woman who had been portrayed as strong-willed enough to leave her husband and children, find suitable accommodations for herself, and aggressively pursue the object of her affections.
		Chopin develops the character of Edna Pointellier to demonstrate the ways that even those who seem as though they should be happy do not fit into the place assigned them by society.
