Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in late 19th-century New Orleans, the novel follows Edna Pontellier as she grapples with her evolving beliefs about femininity and motherhood amid a restrictive patriarchal society. Notable for its candid exploration of female sexuality, it stands out as one of the first American novels to address women's issues without condescension. Initially criticized upon release, it has since gained recognition as a pivotal work in American literature and early feminism, marking a significant moment in the literary landscape of the time.
