The tragic tale of a woman who was a victim of prejudice and typical treatment by the church. Very topical today as well.

These collections don’t operate the same way as other projects. It is up to readers to find and read a short story, then submit it with all the info requested above. We keep adding to the collection until all slots are filled.

Useless Beauty by Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893)

Quite a long one, but very topical, and a warning about male dominance over females, and excessive childbearing.
