"These stories are among our earliest American feminist writings, yet they remain relevant, compelling, even inspiring for readers today. Each story is rooted in some dimension of contemporary feminism and explores topics of continuing importance: solidarity among women, the lives of women of color and working-class women, sexual harassment, lesbian love, family and marital bonds, women's relation to paid employment. Female self-discovery, independence, and achievement are affirmed throughout. With images of female empowerment and autonomy rare even now, modern readers will find in these New Woman stories not only a significant page of women's history but also an enduring heroine."
