An English translation of short stories by Renée Vivien (1877-1909). Reflects and challenges attitudes of the belle epoque, questions gender roles, and represents same-sex love and desire. Stories feature unreliable narrators and include rewritten fairy tales and ancient myths, adventure stories in the American West and at sea, and others.
"More than a century after their publication, Renée Vivien's short stories foreground issues that women continue to face: sexual violence, double standards, and social inequality." - Gayle Levy, University of Missouri, Kansas City
"The editor's references to the Me Too movement . . . show how Vivien's stories anticipate issues women are grappling with today." - Tama Lea Engelking, Cleveland State University
