Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper examining how three women authors approach female independence.

Chopin's The Awakening, Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Yezierska's Bread Givers: A Struggle between a Father of the Old World and a Daughter of the New World all feature female characters struggling to break the mold of tradition, the one that keeps them trapped in lives they have not chosen for themselves. All of these characters understand that they have little or no true freedom, and each sets about discovering independence from the forces that would keep them enslaved. Each approaches her quest very differently, however, and each experiences varying degrees of success in her mission. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
