Kate Chopin, The Awakening. When does Edna awaken?

Question

I'm reading the book, I can see the development of her as a person through the book, but is there a certain point when she awakens? Where in the book?

Thanks!

There's not really a specific point...the first time when she swims out alone into the ocean is when it starts, but the entire rest of the book is a series of small awakenings for her, leading up to the final realizations she has toward the end. Swimming out into the ocean and sitting in the hammock with Robert is one of the first times she realizes she is having an experience like an awakening.
