Publisher Description
The art of writing a short story can be barely noticed by a reader—such is the quality with which they are usually written. It is a difficult trade, an unforgiving discipline, but for those who master it the rewards are many. In this series of works by our greatest female writers we bring you a selection of those we consider the best.
In this volume we bring you the classics “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman and “Roman Fever” by Edith Wharton.

About the Authors
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935) gained much of her fame with lectures on women’s issues, ethics, labor, human rights, and social reform. She often referred to these themes in her fiction. She is best remembered for her 1892 short story “The Yellow Wallpaper,” based on her own bout with severe postpartum depression and misguided medical treatment.
