Beginnings...  

Posted by Kate Chopin

I have decided to write my thoughts on this new venture.  Edna is so complicated and trying at times, and I feel that I need to explore her character more fully outside of the novel.  She is in such a dreamy state at the moment.  She has no expectation of the revelation that is about to awaken her senses and change her life forever.  Oh, how I cannot wait until she emerges from this dull, conventional life of hers!  The times are ever so limiting for women!  To sit, to entertain, to raise the children, to be a model wife and mother, is all that society expects or wants for women.  Edna will surely challenge this, and hopefully awaken society and other women.
