Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-02 00:00:00 Michael Ohm I wanted to read this book to learn about romantic friendships or lesbian relationships in the 19th century. Many of the characters are dead as if that was an acceptable way to write about women who are romantically involved. It was hard to find a story that represented a positive relationship without one of them being dead. Still, it was interesting to learn about the women who wrote the stories, opening up a whole new group of women writers to explore.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-10 00:00:00 Brian K Saltzman Some of these stories are well over a hundred years old and still incredibly readable.
