I put this on here, not only because it contains some essential readings (Perkins-Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" and Glaspell's "A Jury of Her Peers" to mention just two), but because these Dover "thrift editions" are a steal! These books are usually no more than 3 to 5 dollars and they stock a pretty good range of what could be called "classics." DO a web seach for Dover Thrift Edition, or the title of this one, and you'll see the whole list.

This is a great anthology although incomplete. It is a good starter book for someone who wants to become familiar with female American writers. It covers a range of styles and topics and at the very least entices the reader to discover more female writers.

I really enjoyed these, and I didn't think I liked short stories. I want to read more fiction by most of these women.

Pretty much I love this book because it has some amazing classic stories that help define American Literature.

Mostly stories very familiar to me from my undergrad, with a few I haven't read thrown in for excitement.

Some interesting stuff, some not so interesting stuff. Not bad for a light read though.
