Stories for Mothers and Daughters (Used Paperback) - Simon Thomas

This anthology brings together an eclectic mix of female masters of the short-story format. Many of these stories first appeared in periodicals and printed collections and are now presented together for the first time as part of the Women Writers series. Side by side, these mothers and daughters navigate the changes of a turbulent twentieth century for women’s rights and societal attitudes to female behaviour. This collection brings together the talents of Richmal Crompton, Sylvia Townsend Warner, Jeanette Winterson, Jamaica Kincaid, A.S. Byatt, Inez Holden, Winifred Holtby, Janet Frame, E.M. Delafield, and Tillie Olsen to embrace the mother-daughter bond in all its lovely, imperfect forms.
