Read the excerpt from chapter 36 of the awakening.
i suppose this is what you would call unwomanly; but i have got into a habit of expressing myself. it doesn't matter to me, and you may think me unwomanly if you like. which idea is edna expressing?
women are not meant to speak openly and honestly about their thoughts and feelings.

unwomanly traits are unforgivable and should be suppressed whenever it is possible.

complete abandonment is the only effective way of communicating with a young romantic interest.

men and women will never fully understand each other, much less be able to speak freely.
