Produktbeschreibung

At the turn of the century, short stories by - and often about - ”New Women” flooded the pages English and American magazines. This daring new fiction shocked Victorian critics, who denounced the authors as "literary degenerates” or "erotomaniacs”. This collection brings together twenty of the most original and important stories from this period.
