520 $aA native of Iowa and long-time resident of Pennsylvania, Josephine Herbst (1892-1969), well known and highly regarded in the 1930s, was the author of seven novels, twenty-seven short stories, a biography, and numerous journal and newspaper articles. In the current study, the first on Herbst's short fiction, the author provides a critical discussion of each of Herbst's stories, including relevant biographical and historical data.
520 8 $aThroughout her career, Herbst, in her stories, explored women's oppression by the dominant male culture. She suggested that women are restricted by their roles as wives and mothers, a theme found in "The Elegant Mr. Gason" and "Dry Sunday in Connecticut." But some of her characters break out of these supporting roles and establish a degree of self-sufficiency, such as Miranda in "A Man of Steel"; however, others pay emotionally for their independence, as Mrs. Sidney does in "The Enemy."
