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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral Editor's Introduction \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cem\u003eJulie Brown \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiterary Excellence and Social Reform: Lydia Maria Child's Ultraisms for the 1840s \u003cem\u003eBruce Mills \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFiction as Political Discourse: Rose Terry Cooke's Antisuffrage Short Stories \u003cem\u003eSherry Lee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eLinkon \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Stoddard: An Examination of Her Work as Pivot Between Exploratory Fiction and the Modern Short Story \u003cem\u003eTimothy Morris \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho Was That Masked Woman?
