FeatherHikes’s Reviews > The Awakening and Selected Stories (Penguin Classics) by Kate Chopin > Status Update

If in anytime in your life you struggle to understand women, I invite you to read and contrast Kate Chopin’s portrayal of Edna, versus Flaubert’s of Emma Bovary.

And, if you start to be intrigued about the feminine psyche, invite yourself to the book vs. the movie version of The Lover by Marguerite Duras.

Don’t sympathize with women; don’t merely love them; understand them.
