      abstract = {In a career that lasted little more than a decade, Kate  Chopin became well-known for stories set in the Creole and  Acadian regions of Louisiana, but her masterwork, The  Awakening (1899), told the daring story of a woman who  defied social and sexual conventions, eliciting negative  reviews that denied Chopin prominence until the middle of  the 20th Century. Kate Chopin: a literary life sets the  author in the context of 19th Century American women  writers to show how standards of literary propriety  affected the career of a major American writer.},
