En savoir plus sur le livre

Set in late 19th-century New Orleans, the narrative follows Edna Pontellier as she grapples with her unconventional views on femininity and motherhood amidst societal expectations. Recognized as a pioneering feminist work, it offers a realistic portrayal of women's struggles without condescension. The novel's nuanced social commentary and psychological depth establish it as a precursor to American modernism, influencing notable writers like Faulkner and Hemingway, while also contributing to the Southern literary tradition that includes O'Connor and Welty.
