Overview

Classic Women's Short Stories features five stories from influential female writers of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century.

New Zealand-born Katherine Mansfield settled in England where she wrote a series of short stories that are widely recognized as among the finest of the twentieth century for their economy, clarity, sensitivity, and effect. "The Garden Party" is one of her most famous, while "Daughters of the Late Colonel" shows a wonderful sense of wit.

Kate Chopin, writing in the last years of the nineteenth century, broke new ground with her daring view of women as individuals with human needs. "Lilacs" and "Ma'ame Pelagie" are sympathetic portraits of women with differing dilemmas.

Virginia Woolf's "A Mark on the Wall" shows, in short story form, the turmoil within stillness which became a mark of her later novels.
