This anthology of short fiction represents some of the most significant and enjoyable work from the most influential women authors of the 19th and 20th centuries. You'll hear "On the Divide" and "The Garden Lodge" by Willa Cather; "A Point at Issue", "The Story of an Hour", "Desiree's Baby", and "A Pair of Silk Stockings" by Kate Chopin; "The Yellow Wallpaper" and "Three Thanksgivings" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman; and "The Pelican" and "The Fullness of Life" by Edith Wharton. These brilliant authors each speak for a woman's experience, about lives defined by relationships and lives of frustration and satisfaction, sorrow and joy, oppression and self discovery.
