AB Kate Chopin is considered one of the first feminist writers of the last decade ofthe 19th Century, as well as an important author of local color realism. As we enter thelast decade of the 19th Century, the prototype of conventional heroin in American novelsdisappears while the image of the new woman begins to emerge. In her works TheAwakening (1899) and ‘The Storm’ (1898), the main aspects of feminism can beappreciated, such as the right to live happily with oneself, the rejection of patriarchy andsexual independence, which even leads to adultery. Therefore, the aim of this essay is tomake a comparison between Edna Pontellier and Calixta based on behavior in marriage,sexual freedom and the development of the feminine "self".
