This collection of original and classic essays examines the
contributions that female authors have made to the short story. The
introductory chapter discusses why genre critics have ignored works
by women and why feminist scholars have ignored the short-story
genre. Subsequent chapters discuss early stories by such authors as
Lydia Maria Child and Rose Terry Cooke. Other chapters are devoted
to the influences (race, class, sexual orientation, education) that
have shaped women's short fiction through the years. Women's
special stylistic, formal, and thematic concerns are also discussed
in this study. The final essay addresses the ways our contemporary
creative-writing classes are stifling the voices of emerging young
female authors. The collection includes an extensive five-part
bibliography.
