In their new monograph, Gender and Short Fiction: Women's Tales in
Contemporary Britain, Jorge Sacido-Romero and Laura M
Lojo-Rodriguez explain why artistically ambitious women writers
continue turning to the short story, a genre that has not yet
attained the degree of literary prestige and social recognition the
novel has had in the modern period. In this timely volume, the
editors endorse the view that the genre still retains its potential
as a vehicle for the expression of female experience alternative to
and/or critical with dominant patriarchal ideology present at the
very onset of the development of the modern British short story at
the turn of the nineteenth century.

Since the 1980s, there has been an unprecedented and unremitting
rise in the number of women writers in Galicia and Ireland.
Publishers, critics, journals, and women's groups have played a
decisive role in this phenomenon. Creation, Publishing, and
Criticism provides a plurality of perspectives on the strategies
deployed by the various cultural agents in the face of the advance
of women authors and brings together a selection of articles by
writers, publishers, critics, and theatre professionals who delve
into their experiences during this process of cultural change. This
collection of essays sets out to show how, departing from
comparable circumstances, the Galician and the Irish literary
systems explore their respective new paths in ways that are
pertinent to each other. This book will be of particular interest
to students of Galician and Irish studies, comparative literature,
women's studies, and literary criticism. Both specialists in
cultural analysis and the common reader will find this an
enlightening book.
