This book addresses a critically neglected genre used by women writers from Gaskell to Woolf to complicate Victorian and modernist notions of gender and social space. Their innovative short stories ask Britons to reconsider where women could live, how they could be identified, and whether they could be contained.
Kate Krueger is an Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Women and Gender Studies at Arkansas State University, USA, specializing in nineteenth- and twentieth-century British literature.
