Synopsis

With two stories written by the feminist writer of "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" and a third story written by her daughter, the author of the classic Frankenstein, this compilation of Romantic tales provides insight into the lives of women in the 19th century. Exploring female identity and subjectivity, these stories focus on the claustrophobia produced by the conventional household and by a woman's expected role within it. With a good dose of social consciousness, these stories are sure to both entertain and educate readers of the 21st century as they did those in the past. Incluyendo dos cuentos escritos por la escritora feminista de "Vindicacion de los derechos de la mujer" y un tercer cuento por su hija, la autora del clasico Frankenstein, esta compilacion de cuentos del romanticismo arroja luz sobre la situacion de las mujeres durante el siglo XIX. Explorando la identidad y subjetividad femenina, estas historias se enfocan sobre la claustrofobia causada por el hogar convencional y por el papel dentro del mismo que se espera que la mujer desempene. Con una buena dosis de conciencia social, estas historias entretendran y educaran a lectores del siglo XXI tal como lo hicieron con los del pasado.
