I think the most important "identity" that contributed to Nora's leaving was #2, "Wife." Nora was under-appreciated and devalued by her husband. She was treated as a trinket, a triviality, a mere ornament, really. Her opinions weren't asked for or welcomed and she felt oppressed and smothered as well as empty and alone, in many ways. I would put #1 next and #3 last. Yes, she was a woman, and a very strong one at that...one that was waiting to find her true self. She needed to grow, to branch out, to spread her wings. She had lost that sense of herself because of her roles of "mother" and "wife."
