Five stories from influential women writers of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century. New Zealand-born Katherine Mansfield settled in England where she wrote a series of short stories that are widely recognised as among the finest of the twentieth century for their economy, clarity, sensitivity and effect. âThe Garden Partyâ is one of her most famous, while âDaughters of the Late Colonelâ shows a wonderful sense of wit. Kate Chopin, writing in the last years of the nineteenth century, broke new ground with her daring view of women as individuals with human needs. âLilacsâ and âMaâame Pelagieâ are sympathetic portraits of women with differing dilemmas. Woolfâs âA Mark on the Wallâ shows, in short story form, the turmoil within the stillness which became such a mark of her later novels.
