From Kate Chopin's turn-of-the-century Louisiana, to Virginia Woolf's postwar London, to Alice Walker's modern-day America, here are twenty-six short stories by the finest women writers of the twentieth century. These well-known and well-loved authors people their stories with vibrant female characters from all over the world and all walks of life. Separately, each of these stories bears the mark of a skilled writer. Together, they celebrate woman in her many roles--as daughter, mother, worker, wife, lover, sister, and friend. In Tillie Olsen's classic "I Stand Here Ironing", a singel mother considers her success in raising a daughter. In Eudora Welty's "A Worn Path", an African-American grandmother meets with grace the impudence of a young white man. In Alice Munro's "The Office", a wife who has too many distractions write at home rents a room in town, only to be constantly interrupted by her landlord. Superbly written, and at once poignant and ironic, these insightful stories capture the essence of being a woman--in all its similarity and all its diversity.

評分本來對短篇就興趣不大,這裏麵有些文章很抽象哈。
