Extractions: Bayou Folk (1894). Among the collected pieces was "Desiree's Baby," an exploration of the tension between love and race. Chopin touched off her greatest controversy, however, with the publication of her final novel, The Awakening, in 1899, which tells the tale of a young woman who commits adultery and, later, suicide. The harsh reception of that book, now considered a classic, led Chopin to give up writing almost entirely. She wrote little after its publication, and found publishers reluctant to publish what she did produce. Kate Chopin died of a brain hemorrhage in 1904.

Extractions: Kate Chopin: Biography This biography was written by Ann-Marie Yeager, April 2000, student in En 272 (Modern American Short Fiction), New Hampshire Technical Institute, Concord, New Hampshire Kate Chopin was born Catherine O'Flaherty in St. Louis, Missouri (Ker, n.d). Through my research I have come across conflicting reports on her birth year. Some sources state she was born in 1850 while others claim 1851. Her father was Thomas O'Flaherty, a wealthy Irish immigrant and her mother, Eliza Faris O'Flaherty, a French-American (Ker, n.d.). In 1882, Oscar Chopin died of malaria (Shortess, n.d.) leaving Kate with six children to raise all under the age of twelve. Kate managed her husband's business for approximately a year and then returned to live near her mother in St. Louis. A year after her return, her mother passed away (Neocom Technologies Inc., 1999). Sources say the deaths of her mother and husband, in such close succession, left Kate feeling "depressed and grief-stricken" (Robitaille, n.d.). There seem to be several theories about why Kate began her writing career. Some say she needed to financially support her children (Shortess, n.d.) while others claim she was living comfortably with the money from her mother and husband's estates. Some believe Dr. Kolbenheyer, Kate's family doctor, was the driving force behind Kate's new career. He felt this was an appropriate outlet for her depression and "extraordinary energy" (Robitaille, n.d.). It was also believed that this was a way for her to find her identity and "self understanding" (Ker, n.d.).

Extractions: The daughter of Thomas and Eliza (Faris) O'Flaherty, Chopin grew up in a wealthy Roman Catholic family in St. Louis. She graduated from the Academy of the Sacred Heart in 1868 and on June 9, 1870, married Oscar Chopin, a French Creole businessman from Louisiana. During the next nine years, Chopin bore six children and fulfilled heavy social obligations as the wife of a seemingly successful New Orleans cotton broker. But in 1879 Oscar's business failed and the family moved from New Orleans to Cloutierville, where they operated a plantation store and a farm owned by Oscar's family. On December 10, 1882, Oscar died, leaving Kate a thirty-two-year-old widow with six children and limited financial resources. In 1884 she moved her family back to St. Louis, where she lived the rest of her life. In 1889, already thirty-nine years old, Chopin began writing poetry and fiction. Only a decade later, she had published twenty poems, ninety-five short stories, two novels, one play, and eight essays of literary criticism. Her fiction is, without question, her best work. She set most of her stories in late-nineteenth-century Louisiana, and she portrayed characters from all social classes of her time and placearistocratic Creoles, middle- and lower-class Acadians and "Americans," mulattoes, and blacks. Her stories explore relationships among these various classes and, especially, relationships between men and women.

Writing at the end of the nineteenth century at the height of the popularity of "local color" fiction, Kate Chopin introduced American readers to a new fictional setting with her evocations of the diverse culture of Cajun and Creole Louisiana. But while much of Chopin's work falls into the category of regionalism , her stories and especially her novel, The Awakening , are also notable for their introduction of controversial subjects like women's sexuality, divorce, extramarital sex, and miscegenation. Kate Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a socially prominent, financially secure family. Her mother, Eliza Faris, descended from French Creole ancestors, and her father, Thomas O'Flaherty, was an Irish immigrant who had made his fortune as a merchant in St. Louis. Chopin learned to speak both French and English in her home and was sent to Catholic school. At the age of nineteen she married Oscar Chopin, a French Creole from a Louisiana planter family. After a glamorous European honeymoon, the couple settled in New Orleans, where Oscar went into business as a cotton broker and Kate became active in the city's social life. Her fluency in French and southern sympathies ensured that she fit easily into New Orleans society.

Extractions: Willa Cather (1873-1947) was one of America's finest novelists. Her reputation rests on her novels about Nebraska and the American Southwest. In them, she expressed a deep love of the land and a strong distaste for the materialism and conformism she saw in modern life. She showed a genuine devotion to traditional valuesthe importance of family, human dignity, hope, and courage. Cather also demonstrated a strong willingness to question customary ways of thinking and feeling, especially by creating strong female characters who have strength and determination of a sort that earlier writers had credited only to men. Cather wrote 12 novels, of which My Antonia (1918) and Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927) rank as the best. My Antonia describes how an immigrant farm girl triumphs over hardship in pioneer Nebraska. Death Comes for the Archbishop is a historical novel about the work of the first Roman Catholic archbishop in the New Mexico Territory. The novel conveys Cather's sense of the sacred in the archbishop's work and also in the natural world.

She said it over and over u n d e r her breath; free , free, free!" ~ Kate Chopin Novelist Kate Chopin 's quest for creative freedom shocked the literary world in 1899 with the novel The Awakening . Chopin created the unforgettable character Edna Pontellier, the married woman who sought her own sexual and emotional identity. "I give myself where I please," the independent Edna said. Chopin was born Katherine O'Flaherty (1851-1904) in St. Louis, Missouri, an only child whose mother was a French Creole aristocrat. "The way to become rich," Chopin advised, "is to make money, not to save it." Raised a strict Catholic, she was a voracious reader who always kept a journal and began writing seriously following the unexpected death of her husband to swamp fever. "But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, tangled, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing," she observed. Panned by the critics of her time, Chopin was banished from Victorian respectable circles and never wrote another novel. Her bold
