The Awakening, published in 1899, was condemned for several decades afterward, and libraries in places like St. Louis even banned it. It gained recognition in the 1950s and is now considered a classic American literary work, adapted into an opera. Some have pointed out that the author of The Awakening, Kate Chopin, as a female writer, even surpassed many of her male contemporaries. For example, she not only did not condemn Emma in Madame Bovary as Flaubert did but also celebrated her protagonist, Edna. Additionally, she boldly portrayed her husband's infidelity as a beautiful thing, surpassing Lawrence in this regard.
