This 19th century American novella criticising the role of marriage and motherhood caused a furore when it was first published because of Kate Chopin's non-judgemental attitude towards her main character.
Edna Pontiller is a married woman who experiences a sexual awakening when she embarks on an affair and lives independently of her husband. Women's sexual freedom was a taboo issue at the time.
