Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating a mixed reaction from contemporary readers and critics. 4aAdultery 4aAmerican Literature 4aClassic Literature 4aCriticism and Interpretation 4aFeminist Fiction 4aFeminist Literature 4aFiction 4aHistory
