Publisher's Summary
Presented here are three of the most important feminist novels ever written: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Each of these works is an early groundbreaking piece of fiction from some of literature's finest female writers as they explore life, love, and the struggle of women to find their voices in a time where they were too often silenced and suppressed.
Mrs. Dalloway details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a British socialite in post-First World War England. Looping backwards and forwards in time, the listener is given a glimpse inside the mind of Mrs. Dalloway as she goes about her day. Mrs. Dalloway was included on Time magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels ever written.
The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story of extraordinary power, exploring issues of mental health, the role of women in society and the oppressive nature of the patriarchy.
The Awakening is a stunningly beautiful novel set in New Orleans that tells the tale of Edna Pontellier, a young housewife attempting to break free from her loveless marriage and find a life of her own.
All three books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

Times have changed thankfully
Sometimes it is hard to listen to these classics as they were written in early feminist times and their job has (mostly) been accomplished. Well written for sure, therefor these are classics.
The narrator was very good - quite articulate - so it was disconcerting to hear her say "fer" for "for" and also "mischievious" for "mischievous". Threw me off a bit, sadly.
