Although Katherine O'Flaherty Chopin was a native of St. Louis (born 8 February 1851) and spent barely 14 years in Louisiana, her fiction is identified with the South. At 19, Kate O'Flaherty married Oscar Chopin, a young cotton broker, and moved with him to New Orleans and later to his family home in Cloutierville, La., near the Red River. After Oscar died in 1882, she returned with their six children to St. Louis; but when, eight years later, she began to write, it was the Creoles and 'Cadians of her Louisiana experiences that animated her fiction. Distinctly unsentimental in her approach, she often relied on popular period motifs, such as the conflict of the Yankee businessman and the Creole, a theme that informs her first novel, At Fault (1890), and several of her short stories. These vivid and economical tales, richly flavored with local dialect, provide penetrating views of the heterogeneous culture of south Louisiana. Many of them were collected in

Theme Search Advanced Search The Ebookstore is a trademark of Unitel Inc Kate O'Flaherty Chopin American Author The Cotton Creole Community ... This daughter of a wealthy Irish Catholic immigrant family of St. Louis, Missouri, lost her father, a pioneer of the Pacific Railroad, in a train accident, and her brother George, after he had been captured by Union forces during the Civil War.
In her young age, at the St. Louis Academy of the Sacred Heart, she was a passionate of literature, then became a "belle" of Saint Louis after her graduation in 1868, smoking cigarettes (something unusual for a woman in her time) and walking unaccompanied through the streets. After she married Oscar Chopin, a a cotton Creole factor, in 1870, she settled in New Orleans and progressively she became acquainted with that Creole community that she depicted in her writings. In 1883, Oscar died of swamp fever, and in 1885, after she had moved with her mother to St Louis, Kate lost her too. She was a widow with six children when her family physician suggested her to express her sorrows and disappointments in writing. This was the start of a fifteen years literary career, publishing two novels and over one hundred short stories, ending with Kate's death in 1904, of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Domestic Goddesses Home
Domestic Goddess Kate Chopin was born Katherine O'Flaherty, in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents were from Irish and Creole backgrounds. When Chopin was widowed at 32, she began writing to support herself and her six children. She was widely accepted as a writer of local color fiction, and was generally successful until the publication of her scandalous novel The Awakening , in 1899. Perched between the social conservatism of the nineteenth century and dealing with tabooed themes too soon for the growingly open twentieth, the novel's sexually aware and shocking protagonist, Edna Pontillier, pushed Chopin into literary oblivion. Chopin, and her memorable characters and stories, finally emerged from society's morally imposed ostracization during the resurgence of women's rights in the early 1970's. Even today, much of the criticism of Chopin's most famous work centers on Edna Pontillier's morals is she a fallen woman, a bad mother, a selfish human being? Why does the character still, in an era where sexual openness is not totally condemned, point us toward a discussion of what makes a woman "bad?" What does the novel say about constrictions and constructions of the feminine role, today and during the time it was written? What does the novel say about human consciousness, and conscience?

This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Writing at the end of the nineteenth century at the height of the popularity of "local color" fiction, Kate Chopin introduced American readers to a new fictional setting with her evocations of the diverse culture of Cajun and Creole Louisiana. But while much of Chopin's work falls into the category of regionalism , her stories and especially her novel, The Awakening , are also notable for their introduction of controversial subjects like women's sexuality, divorce, extramarital sex, and miscegenation.
Kate Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a socially prominent, financially secure family. Her mother, Eliza Faris, descended from French Creole ancestors, and her father, Thomas O'Flaherty, was an Irish immigrant who had made his fortune as a merchant in St. Louis. Chopin learned to speak both French and English in her home and was sent to Catholic school. At the age of nineteen she married Oscar Chopin, a French Creole from a Louisiana planter family. After a glamorous European honeymoon, the couple settled in New Orleans, where Oscar went into business as a cotton broker and Kate became active in the city's social life. Her fluency in French and southern sympathies ensured that she fit easily into New Orleans society.

Kate Chopin
Critics hardly knew what to do about the work of Kate Chopin, author of some of the boldest and best stories written in America before 1960. Hers were nineteenth-century stories exploring all sorts of taboo subjects—miscegenation, divorce, and even female sexuality.
The daughter of Thomas and Eliza (Faris) O'Flaherty, Chopin grew up in a wealthy Roman Catholic family in St. Louis. She graduated from the Academy of the Sacred Heart in 1868 and on June 9, 1870, married Oscar Chopin, a French Creole businessman from Louisiana. During the next nine years, Chopin bore six children and fulfilled heavy social obligations as the wife of a seemingly successful New Orleans cotton broker. But in 1879 Oscar's business failed and the family moved from New Orleans to Cloutierville, where they operated a plantation store and a farm owned by Oscar's family. On December 10, 1882, Oscar died, leaving Kate a thirty-two-year-old widow with six children and limited financial resources. In 1884 she moved her family back to St. Louis, where she lived the rest of her life.
In 1889, already thirty-nine years old, Chopin began writing poetry and fiction. Only a decade later, she had published twenty poems, ninety-five short stories, two novels, one play, and eight essays of literary criticism. Her fiction is, without question, her best work. She set most of her stories in late-nineteenth-century Louisiana, and she portrayed characters from all social classes of her time and place—aristocratic Creoles, middle- and lower-class Acadians and "Americans," mulattoes, and blacks. Her stories explore relationships among these various classes and, especially, relationships between men and women.

Kate Chopin: Biography This biography was written by Ann-Marie Yeager, April 2000, student in En 272 (Modern American Short Fiction), New Hampshire Technical Institute, Concord, New Hampshire Kate Chopin was born Catherine O'Flaherty in St. Louis, Missouri (Ker, n.d). Through my research I have come across conflicting reports on her birth year. Some sources state she was born in 1850 while others claim 1851. Her father was Thomas O'Flaherty, a wealthy Irish immigrant and her mother, Eliza Faris O'Flaherty, a French-American (Ker, n.d.). In 1882, Oscar Chopin died of malaria (Shortess, n.d.) leaving Kate with six children to raise all under the age of twelve. Kate managed her husband's business for approximately a year and then returned to live near her mother in St. Louis. A year after her return, her mother passed away (Neocom Technologies Inc., 1999). Sources say the deaths of her mother and husband, in such close succession, left Kate feeling "depressed and grief-stricken" (Robitaille, n.d.). There seem to be several theories about why Kate began her writing career. Some say she needed to financially support her children (Shortess, n.d.) while others claim she was living comfortably with the money from her mother and husband's estates. Some believe Dr. Kolbenheyer, Kate's family doctor, was the driving force behind Kate's new career. He felt this was an appropriate outlet for her depression and "extraordinary energy" (Robitaille, n.d.). It was also believed that this was a way for her to find her identity and "self understanding" (Ker, n.d.).

"When she a b a n d o n e d herself a little w h i sp e r e d word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over u n d e r her breath; free , free, free!" ~ Kate Chopin Novelist Kate Chopin 's quest for creative freedom shocked the literary world in 1899 with the novel The Awakening . Chopin created the unforgettable character Edna Pontellier, the married woman who sought her own sexual and emotional identity. "I give myself where I please," the independent Edna said. Chopin was born Katherine O'Flaherty (1851-1904) in St. Louis, Missouri, an only child whose mother was a French Creole aristocrat. "The way to become rich," Chopin advised, "is to make money, not to save it." Raised a strict Catholic, she was a voracious reader who always kept a journal and began writing seriously following the unexpected death of her husband to swamp fever. "But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, tangled, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing," she observed. Panned by the critics of her time, Chopin was banished from Victorian respectable circles and never wrote another novel. Her bold
