Reseña del editor:
Since the mid-19th century, and most especially since the late 1960s, Canadian women have made a remarkable contribution to world literature. Carol Shields won the Pulitzer Prize; Margaret Atwood, Janette Turner Hospital, Anne Michaels, and Carol Shields were short listed for the Booker Award; Atwood and Michaels were nominated for the Orange. This anthology encompasses over a century and a half of writing by Canadian women. The stories collected here are intended to represent a cross-section of the best writing by women in the genre and demonstrate a wide range of styles from the realistic to the post-modern and experimental. All the stories are about women: in childhood, adolescence, maturity, old age; as part of a relationship, such as a daughter, a sister, a lover, a mother; and in a variety of social and political contexts. Though all authors are Canadian by birth or choice, nationality and gender have different meanings for each of them. But all write confidently and eloquently of their experience as women.
