Very narrow collection of women writers, but I enjoyed most of the stories.

Great collection. Doris Lessing's "To room nineteen", and Joyce Carol Oates' "In the Region of Ice" really touched me. Now I count them as some of my favorite short stories of all time.

26 short stories by and about women.
The stories, as the subtitle states, are all by and about women. They take place between late 19th century until 1975, when the book was published. So we see a lot differences in life style and the perception of women by the society among the stories. Reading this book almost felt like being in a time machine. My favourite stories were the ones written by Tillie Olsen, Doris Lessing and Alice Munro.
