Chopin most commonly writes of the lack of freedom women hold during her time, before and after marriage. She follows the theme of women also not being able to express their sexual desires as well.

Chopin adored writing of the sexual constraint placed upon women during her time; therefore it's no secret that her first novel, At Fault, focused on this foundation. In addition, she published two major works in which contained a collection of stories she wrote. Bayou Folk (1894) focused on the people of Louisiana (the Creoles and Acadians). Her second collection, A Night in Acadie (1897), revolved on the way which women were treated in the South. Another one of her important works is called The Awakening (1899), where she focusses on the major lack of freedom given to women. All four of these works were incredibly important pieces of Chopin's literary legacy.

Kate Chopin, born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1851, live there throughout the entirety of her life. She unexpectedly passed on the 22nd of August in 1904, due to cerebral hemorrhage. Though she attended an all girl's Catholic school, Academy of the Sacred Heart, her doctor, Fredrick Kolbenheyer inspired her to begin writing. Thus, she began with fictional pieces, publishing At Fault in 1890. Unfortunately Chopin was not alive when her work became appreciated. The people in her society frowned upon her work, claiming it was too intense for a woman to write.
