In this unit, you read the novel "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin. This novel is considered one of the first works of feminist literature. Feminisim is the belief that men and women are equal and should be treated as such in society.

This novel is one of the first feminist novels, because it was empowering women. There have been several other feminist novels, but this is the very first one.

Kate Chopin wrote the awakening to empower feminism and women, as they are often designated as the weaker gender. I believe that it shows the stronger side of females, and that they are as strong as men are.

I haven't read the book, so I went off of what i could. I hope this helps, you can re-word it if you'd like.
