It's a Hard Enough Life

I was looking at this website, http://www.womenwriters.net/domesticgoddess/sprinkle.htm and it mentioned how The Awakening was so disliked when it first was written and how critics hated it and how they said it was so out of character of Chopin because by then she had already been established as a writer and so i think for her it must have been discouraging for her, the next piece of literature she wrote, The Gentleman from New Orleans was her last as she died 5 years after the awakening, she had a really tragic life and in some of her writing you can really tell but in others you can't, it's very interesting. The title was inspired by a song in a musical I did...
