Description

This collection of original and classic essays examines the significant contributions female authors have made to the short story genre. The introductory chapter addresses why genre critics have historically overlooked women's works and why feminist scholars have neglected short story analysis. Subsequent chapters explore early stories by authors including Lydia Maria Child and Rose Terry Cooke, whilst others investigate the influences-race, class, sexual orientation, and education-that have shaped women's short fiction across the years. The study also discusses women's distinctive stylistic, formal, and thematic concerns within the genre, offering essential insights into how female writers have shaped American short story literature and challenging traditional critical perspectives on the form.
