Why was The Awakening challenged?
The Awakening by Kate Chopin is in this catalog because a sourced record documents an at-risk action in United States in 2006. The novel was part of a group of challenged titles in an Illinois school district in 2006.
The catalog records the scope as school. That is not a claim that the book is banned everywhere, or that a failed complaint has the same force as a prohibition. Open the sources under Bans and restrictions. Unsourced rumors are omitted.
Readers who search “why was The Awakening banned” should read the status label first. Banned, restricted, and at risk are defined on the methodology page and are not interchangeable.
