Full Description
Fall head over heels with this collection of unconventional
and heartfelt romances that will leave you longing for more. From icons of
feminist literature to forgotten Chinese modernists, these women writers chart
evolutions of love across lifetimes, from the first flush of youth to growing
old together. This new anthology gathers the talents of Margaret Atwood,
Virginia Woolf, Amy Bloom, E. M. Delafield, Dorothy Parker, Elizabeth Taylor,
Mary Lavin, Ling Shuhua, Jessamyn West and Carol Shields.
This anthology brings together forgotten and celebrated
female masters of the short story format. In the spirit of the Women Writers
series, these stories first appeared in books and periodicals published in the
twentieth century. The result is a carefully curated collection of stories that
sketch evolving understandings of love and female agency, as their heroines
navigate romance and commitment, idealism and realism, innocence and
experience.
