The acknowledgment and admiration of fiction by women of the Harlem Renaissance is growing rapidly. Their stories encompass unique premises and perceptions, and, taken as a whole, they balance the historically male-dominated perspectives in Harlem Renaissance literature. Their captivating narratives reveal insights and perspectives unique to the women who experienced the Harlem Renaissance. Through their presence, perseverance, and talent, these women played a crucial role in the historical progress of Black women’s literature.
This volume—a combination of two 'Short-Take' anthologies, plus 9 additional stories—presents the best short stories by distinguished women writers, from those who have earned more widespread attention to those who haven’t yet but are just as deserving. This informed and comprehensive collection is a combination of the stories by women most admired during the Harlem Renaissance and those most studied since then, each by a different author.
- 26 short stories by 26 distinguished writers.
- Includes a list of all the short stories by women recognized in national Harlem Renaissance literary contests. *
