Stories of Strange Women is a compilation of entertaining and thought-provoking short stories written by J. Y. F. Cooke who is also well-known as the author of two famous books: "A Spray of Lilac" and "A Happy Little Adventure." This book provides an interesting look at female characters in literature both through a societal lens and a literary scope. Cooke's presentation of women is at times comical, other times dramatic, and even occasionally stereotypical. This book is amusing for anyone intrigued by short stories, women in literature, and the presentation of women who challenge typical social conventions. The eight pieces presented in this book include: The Garments of a Girl, His Mistress and Her Maid, When the "Vestilinden" was Lost, Leave It Alone, A Light Woman's Reason, For Valour, Out of the Mire, and Joy Cometh In the Morning. Each story begins with several quotes that set the tone and mood of the story and pertain directly to the story's content; the quotes come from a range of sources and are shared in English and other varied languages. Societal expectations of women are presented through the plight of these characters and offer some situations which are meant to inform readers of the historic struggles of women. Stories of Strange Women is a select collection of short stories crafted by J. Y. F. Cooke for the enjoyment of educated audiences. Cooke presents a range of female characters for the reader to analyze, understand, question, and sympathize with.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Strange Woman Young John Hemingway awoke, on this particular May morning, with the first drowsy click of the first sparrow. Consciousness, on the instant, clasped him. It was as if he had suddenly been immersed in water. He wondered, a little impatiently, that he had been able to sleep at all. How could he, when this was his Great Day, his Golden Threshold, the beginning of the Adventure with all that it might come to mean! Dawn, a square grey cloth, hung at his window. Behind it now more sparrows stirred, myriads of them, in a shrill clamour. Their thin Voices sounded querulous, almost angry.

Excerpt from The Stranger Woman She read the long and closely written letter to the end, then read it again and yet again no longer a fair and soft young girl standing just on the threshold of life, but a woman with a tragedy newly come into her fate. SO she sat there, it seemed for hours, filled with an awful overpowering voice less horror; but, at last, her whit ened lips began to move and a shuddering whisper stole out upon the sunny morn.

Book Description
Excerpt from Strange True Stories of Louisiana True stories are not often good art. The relations and experiences of real men and women rarely fall in Such symmetrical order as to make an artistic Whole. Until they have had such treatment as we give stone in the quarry or gems in the rough they seldom group themselves with that harmony Of values and brilliant unity of interest that result when art comes in - not SO much to transcend nature as to make nature transcend herself.
