This fiction collection stretches from Gertrude Stein to Grace Paley, from Edith Wharton to Angela Carter, from Mae West to Margaret Atwood, from Zora Neale Hurston to Joyce Carol Oates. The volume is an international celebration of extracts charting the 20th century - stories of poverty and wealth, work and play, tales of changing environments - both urban and rural, in peace and wartime. A book of Virago authors with every year of the 20th century represented, the volume aims to gather all the energies and circumstances of 20th-century women writers into the one book, swinging from one end to the other of 100 years of history and change.
