A riveting collection of short stories by the French feminist
Marie-Louise Gagneur. Much acclaimed amongst her contemporaries and
yet all but forgotten today, Marie-Louise Gagneur was a defining
voice in French feminism. These stories, translated into English
for the first time, critique the restrictions of late
nineteenth-century society and explore the ways in which both men
and women are hurt by rigid attitudes towards marriage. In An
Atonement, the Count de Montbarrey awakes one morning to find his
wife dead, leaving him free to marry the woman he really loves.
Could the Count have accidentally killed his wife? And how can he
atone for his crime? Three Rival Sisters tells the story of the
rivalry between Henriette, Renee and Gabrielle as they compete for
the affections of one man. But marriage does not necessarily
guarantee happiness, as the sisters are about to find out. Steeped
in wit, empathy and biting social criticism, and with echoes of
Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Kate Chopin, the stories show Gagneur
to be worthy of renewed attention.
