Order of Kate Chopin Books

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American writer known for her short stories and novels. Born in St. Louis, she relocated to New Orleans after marrying Oscar Chopin. Following the decline of Oscar’s cotton business, they moved to his family’s plantation in northwestern Louisiana. Their marriage lasted only 12 years due to Oscar’s untimely death. Left a young widow with six children, Kate turned to writing. Her work faced significant criticism during her time for its frank treatment of sexuality. Today, however, her writing is regarded as artistic and sophisticated within American literature. Chopin made her novel debut in 1890 with At Fault and published only one other novel, the acclaimed 1899 work The Awakening, often considered her masterpiece.
