The most recent ones are Zora Neale Hurston's Sweat, an ironic tale of a failed marriage, published in 1926, and Sanctuary (1930), Nella Larsen's gripping and controversial tale of contested loyalty.<br>In between is a grand cavalcade of superbly crafted fiction by Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Djuna Barnes, Susan Glaspell and Edith Wharton. Brief biographies of each of the writers are included.
