Spanning almost a century of writings, from the emigration and settlement of Icelanders in the early 1870’s to their assimilation into a North American culture in the 1950’s and 1960’s, this collection of short stories and poems demonstrates a wide variety of styles, from the romantic to the realist and symbolic. Taken collectively, the works stand in their own right as socio-historical documents, and you hear the voices of women’s developement in the early history of Western Icelandic settlement and literary history. This would be a good resource for a women’s studies course.
