“Kate Krueger’s British Women Writers and the Short Story addresses women writers’ use of social space in two key ways: the social space of the short story itself, which Krueger reads as an apt political space for women writers; and physical spaces, ranging from drawing rooms to city streets to colonial outposts. … Throughout, Krueger offers detailed readings that are attentive to each text’s periodical print context, and this is a real strength of the volume.” (Sigrid Anderson Cordell, Sharp News, Vol. 24 (4), 2015)

"Wide-ranging, incisive and thoroughly readable, this will be essential reading for anyone interested in women writers' contribution to the short story tradition." - Ailsa Cox, Edgehill University, UK
