Kate Chopin was born in 1851 in the southern US state of Missouri. She took up writing to overcome her depression at the loss of her husband and mother but her views about the freedom of women were too radical for her time and she was not recognised as a serious writer until many years after her death in 1904. She is now acclaimed as a forerunner of many late-20th century feminist writers.
