The earliest stories are Rebecca Harding Davis' naturalistic \"Life in the Iron Mills\" (published in 1861 and predating Émile Zola's Germinal by almost 25 years) and Louisa May Alcott's semiautobiographical tale \"Transcendental Wild Oats\" (1873). The most recent ones are Zora Neale Hurston's \"Sweat,\" an ironic tale of a failed marriage, published in 1926, and \"Sanctuary\" (1930), Nella Larsen's gripping and controversial tale of contested loyalty.\nIn between is a grand cavalcade of superbly crafted fiction by Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Djuna Barnes, Susan Glaspell and Edith Wharton. Brief biographies of each of the writers are included.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486287769\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UI56000WJW_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Candace Ward\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
