Kate Chopin's Writing Style and BeliefsKate Chopin was an extraordinary nineteenth-century writer. Although she did not receive positive critical response, she became one of the most powerful and controversial writers of her time. She dared to write her thoughts on topics considered radical: the institution of marriage and women's desire for social, economic and political equality. Focusing on the reality of relationships between men and women, he draws extraordinary and intelligent characters in a rich and bold writing style that was not accepted because it was too ahead of its time. She risked her reputation by creating female heroines as independent women who desire to receive sexual and emotional satisfaction, an idea unheard of in the 1800s. In the late 19th century, the central belief of the vast majority was that a woman's job was to support and nurture her husband and her children. Women were given no individual identity and were only seen in relation to family. Women of this time could not vote and therefore had no say in any political matters. Women who wished to comment politically did so with some form of art, including music, painting, and writing (Magill, American 387). According to Frank Magill, when a woman sees herself only as part of a relationship with someone, then that relationship becomes the central issue of her life (American 386). As a woman whose husband died young, leaving her six children to raise alone, Chopin understands this kind of dependence on relationships (Magill, American 384). Almost as if she were developing her own role, she explores the complexity between men and women in her writing.
