Wonder Of Women - Love Stories
"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - Love - An Introduction2 - Life of Ma Parker by Katherine Mansfield3 - Uncle Abraham's Romance by Edith Nesbit4 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker5 - Some Ways of Love by Charlotte Mew6 - The Muse's Tragedy by Edith Wharton7 - The Sexton's Hero by Elizabeth Gaskell8 - A Middle Sized Artist by Charlotte Perkins Gilman9 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley10 - A Spirit Elopement by Clotilde Graves11 - A Story of a Wedding Tour by Margaret Oliphant12 - The Locket by Kate Chopin13 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather14 - The Canary by Katherine Mansfield15 - May Afternoon by Catherine Wells16 - The Night Before Thanksgiving by Sarah Orne Jewett17 - The Oculist by Catherine Wells18 - The Dream by Mary Shelley19 - The Dance by Zona Gale20 - The Dark Cottage by Mary Cholmondeley21 - The Way the World Is by Zona Gale22 - Psychology by Katherine Mansfield23 - The Shape of Fear by Elia W Peattie24 - Those Who Wait by Ethel Dell25 - An Unexpected Fare by Mary Tuttiett writing as Maxwell Gray26 - A New England Nun by Mary E Wilkins Freeman27 - White Magic by Ella D'Arcy28 - A Symphony in Lavender by Mary Wilkins E Freeman29 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit30 - Fantomina or, Love in a Maze - Part 1 by Eliza Haywood31 - Fantomina or, Love in a Maze - Part 2 by Eliza Haywood"
