Read this paragraph from "The American Romantics v. the American Realists." The female writers of the time, Chopin and Gilman, produced stories that portray what life was like for women during the 19th century. Chopin’s novel, The Awakening, follows Edna Pontellier as she tries to live an extraordinary life free of the stifling societal expectations for women. Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” a strange, slightly comedic, but ultimately very serious tale, changed the way physicians treat female patients. Both Chopin and Gilman are now seen as precursors to 20th-century feminism.
