May Book Club: Contemporary Feminism and Women's Short Stories - Emma Young

May's book offers a wide-ranging survey of contemporary women’s short stories and introduces a new way of theorising feminism in the genre through the concept of ‘the moment’.

By considering the prominent themes of motherhood, marriage, domesticity, sexuality, masculinity and femininity, this book engages with a spectrum of issues that are central to feminism today and, in the process, offers insightful new readings of the contemporary short story.
