Mujeres que reclaman su derecho a trabajar en un mundo de hombres, valientes guerreras indias, forajidas del Oeste americano, inmigrantes sin pelos en la lengua, heroínas atrapadas en tenebrosos bosques... Estas son algunas de las protagonistas de La nueva mujer: relatos de escritoras estadounidenses del siglo XIX. Las autoras elegidas por Gloria Fortún para esta antología —mujeres de vanguardia que desafiaron con la pluma y el papel las convenciones sociales— son el símbolo de los anhelos y luchas de una época que asistió al surgimiento del empoderamiento femenino. La nueva mujer reúne a diez escritoras que, después de haberse forjado una carrera a la sombra de un canon literario eminentemente masculino, brillan ahora con más fuerza que nunca gracias a la riqueza y diversidad de unos relatos que reflejan desde múltiples perspectivas la realidad de la condición femenina en un tiempo marcado por profundas transformaciones políticas y sociales. Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sui Sin Far, Zitkala-Ša, Susan Glaspell, Harriet E. Prescott Spofford, Catharine Maria Sedgwick y Mary Austin son las diez escritoras que forman parte de un libro imprescindible para comprender el nacimiento de la "nueva mujer" en Estados Unidos durante el siglo XIX. Esta edición incluye un estudio crítico escrito por Gloria Fortún que ayuda a contextualizar la obra de cada una de las autoras seleccionadas.

A Novel

The Visioning

Norma Ashe

A cofounder of the Provincetown Players and winner of a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Susan Glaspell (1876-1948) was one of the first female playwrights. Although long neglected, the four plays collected in this critical edition reveal the thoroughly modern nature of her concerns. Trifles (1916) develops a feminist critique of social role, while The Outside (1917) stages a debate between the life force and a perverse celebration of death. In The Verge (1921), Glaspell presented an experimental work of considerable proportions, more daring in many ways than anything attempted by O'Neill.
