Answer:

She is consider as a forerunner of feminism

Step-by-step explanation:

When it was published in 1899, her novel Awakening was characterized as a shameful reading that disrupted the puritanical values of the American South from the late nineteenth century.

Today it is considered the canonical part of early American feminism and the forerunner of the American modernist novel. Following the fate of Edna Pontellier, the Creole Madam Bovary, the novel examines the traditional views of woman, motherhood and family.
