Description
Scandinavian Women Writers presents short stories written by the leading women writers of the last century. Their stories deal with the everyday problems of Scandinavian women including women's dependency on her husband, hypocrisy of the church, the women's suffrage movement, career and family, marriage problems, unwed motherhood, and divorce. Each chapter includes a biographical introduction about the author followed by a translation of the author's story or excerpt from a larger work. A short note about each translator is included at the end of the book.
