This collection of original and classic essays examines the contributions that female authors have made to the short story. The introductory chapter discusses why genre critics have ignored works by women and why feminist scholars have ignored the short story genre. Subsequent chapters discuss early stories by such authors as Lydia Maria Child and Rose Terry Cooke. Others are devoted to the influences (race, class, sexual orientation, education) that have shaped women's short fiction through the years. Women's special stylistic, formal and thematic concerns are also discussed in this study. The final essay addresses the ways our contemporary creative-writing classes are stifling the voices of emerging young female authors. The collection includes an extensive five-part bibliography.

This book is designed for the beginner as well as for those who have had some practice and have achieved some measure of proficiency in the art of short story writing. Those who never attempted to do professional writing in fiction will find a number of helpful analyses of short story forms and a constructive study of techniques together with suggested exercises that will slowly, step by step, develop their creative power and sense of mastery. The more advanced writer will gain increased insight and progressive control of the various forms so that he will after a time learn to do consciously and habitually and with assured skill what until then he may have been doing blindly, haphazardly, following a fumbling, unformulated process of trial and error. - Introduction.
