Description: Koppelman has anthologized a collection of stories that recount love and desire between women, all of which appeared in popular literary magazines during the second half of the 19th century. Though the stories are far from sexually explicit, the relationships that unfold--largely "Boston Marriages"--are passionate. Includes contributions by Mary Wilkins Freeman, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Kate Chopin.
