Description
Aspiring Women is an anthology of short fiction written by Canadian women between 1880 and 1900. It includes stories by Sara Jeannette Duncan, Margaret Marshall Saunders, and E. Pauline Johnson. Written during a period when both the short story form and the situation of women were evolving, the stories demonstrate the authors' creativity in expressing the realities and tensions of the changing female role.
