A woman traces the pattern on her nursery wallpaper until she becomes it. A wife's quiet decision to move her household into the new barn — and refuse to move back. Two women who find a dead canary and understand, without a word spoken between them, exactly what happened and exactly what they will do about it.
Seven landmark works of short fiction by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Kate Chopin, Susan Glaspell, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Sarah Orne Jewett, Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth Gaskell — writers who turned domestic rooms into moral stages and small gestures into acts of lasting consequence.
