Autorenporträt
Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American author known for her pioneering work in feminist literature. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Chopin began writing in the late 19th century, producing short stories and novels that explored themes of identity, gender roles, and personal freedom, particularly from a woman's perspective. Her most acclaimed novel, The Awakening (1899), challenged social norms and was considered controversial at the time for its portrayal of female independence and sensuality. Though her work received limited recognition during her lifetime, Chopin is now regarded as a significant figure in American literary history and a forerunner of modern feminist thought.
