Interesting take on how women are portrayed in literature. Some of the stories didn't really prove the editor's points that well, but many of them were spot on.

I particularly enjoyed "The Sky is Gray" by Ernest J. Gaines, "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" by Ernest Hemingway, "Rappaccini's Daughter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Editha" by William Dean Howells, "Rina the Bird Girl" by Rona Jaffe (excellent look at women who become what they think a man wants), "A New England Nun" by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, "A Doll's House, 1970" by Claire Booth Luce and "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell (female solidarity!). ( )
