"The Awakening" seems to portray the Sentiments to a tee. Edna is the only women who goes against what women have endured for years. "The Awakening" showed women that they could fight for equal rights. They did not have to be civially dead according to the law after they were married. Enda is surrounder by all of this and rejects it completly. Edna is even making her own money through her paintings she sells. She does not give the money to her husband, she buys her own house to live in. She does use some of her husband's money, but she does support herself with her own.
