In "A Woman's Reason," Howells has given us a study of a few eventful years of a woman's life, characterized by his unequalled knowledge of the mysterious working of woman's mind and heart, and told with great power and truth to nature. The environment - so important a feature in the methods of the école naturaliste - is perfect: the whole story is redolent of Boston, and the account of the sale by auction of Mr. Harkness's house which the reader is at first inclined to regard as an interpolated incident, but which is afterwards found to be a step in the logical development of events, is one of the best bits of humorous description of American life that have ever been written. -The Fortnightly Review, Vol. 40 [1883] Mr. Howells is, beyond question, one of the most charming romance writers in the English language, on either side of the Atlantic, and "A Woman's Reason" deserves to rank with the best of his productions. The plot, simple, but sufficiently romantic, is well-developed, the characters are all consistent creations, each one thinking, acting and speaking as such people would in real life. The dissection of the human mind and heart is performed with extraordinary skill and firmness of touch. In truth fineness is Mr. Howells' distinguishing characteristic, and, as we have already had occasion to remark, his tendency is to carry it to a fault. Sometimes it is shown in the moral tone of some of his personages in whom a sort of morbid and fantastic scrupulousness takes the place of simple, straightforward, uprightness; oftener it appears in a certain sensitive self-consciousness, which causes some of his most charming presentments of American young ladyhood to appear captious, unamiable and almost ill-bred, in their intercourse with Englishmen. The adventurous parts of the story are shortly and simply told, but with considerable power. The descriptions of the Atolls in the Pacific are good samples of the power of words to convey scenic effects. -The Westminster Review, Vol. 121 [1884]

Excerpt: ...but I couldn't make any great headway: such a prejudice against foreigners amongst the Chinese; and I hadn't very much money with me, and I concluded to give it up. But I found out enough to know that our people can't grow sorghum on the Chinese plan and make it pay; labour 's too dear and we 've got to employ machinery. I 've got the idea of a sorghum-planter, that, if I can get any one to take hold of it, is going to make s0mebody's fortune. Have you ever been to Alaska T' " No," said Fenton. " They say there 's good soil in Alaska, and there 's nothing to prevent it 's being-a great agricultural country except the frost four or five feet down. Sun can't get at it on account of the moss. But you scrape that moss ofl' once, and let the sun have a fair show for one summer, --well, I believe the thing can be done, if any one had the sense to go about it the right way. And I 've got my eye on a kind of coffee they grow on the Sandwich Islands, that I believe can be introduced with us, if the right parties can be got to take hold of it." The good weather continued for another week, with westerly winds that carried the Meteor on her course till she had made nearly three thousand miles since leaving Shanghai. Each day took him two hundred or two hundred and fifty nearer home, and. Fenton looked forward to a prosperous run all the way to San Francisco with hopes that he dutifully disguised to himself as fears. Towards the end of the week, the wind began to haul back'to the south-' ward, and fell till it scarcely stirred a ripple on the sea, but he did not lose courage. He explained to the other passengers that they could afford to lose a few...

Why God Is a Woman is a collection of poems written about a magical island where women rule and men are the second sex. It is also the story of a boy who, exiled from the island because he could not abide by its sexist laws, looks back with both nostalgia and bitterness and wonders: Why does God have to be a woman? Celebrated prose poet Nin Andrews creates a world both fantastic and familiar where all the myths, logic, and institutions support the dominance of women. Nin Andrews's books include The Book of Orgasms and Sleeping with Houdini.

In "A Woman's Reason," Howells has given us a study of a few eventful years of a woman's life, characterized by his unequalled knowledge of the mysterious working of woman's mind and heart, and told with great power and truth to nature..... William Dean Howells ( March 1, 1837 - May 11, 1920) was an American realist novelist, literary critic, and playwright, nicknamed "The Dean of American Letters". He was particularly known for his tenure as editor of The Atlantic Monthly, as well as for his own prolific writings, including the Christmas story "Christmas Every Day" and the novels The Rise of Silas Lapham and A Traveler from Altruria. Early life and family: William Dean Howells was born on March 1, 1837 in Martinsville, Ohio (now known as Martins Ferry, Ohio) to William Cooper Howells and Mary Dean Howells, the second of eight children. His father was a newspaper editor and printer who moved frequently around Ohio. In 1840, the family settled in Hamilton, Ohio, where his father oversaw a Whig newspaper and followed Swedenborgianism.Their nine years there were the longest period that they stayed in one place. The family had to live frugally, although the young Howells was encouraged by his parents in his literary interests. He began at an early age to help his father with typesetting and printing work, a job known at the time as a printer's devil. In 1852, his father arranged to have one of his poems published in the Ohio State Journal without telling him. Early career: In 1856, Howells was elected as a clerk in the State House of Representatives. In 1858, he began to work at the Ohio State Journal where he wrote poetry and short stories, and also translated pieces from French, Spanish, and German. He avidly studied German and other languages and was greatly interested in Heinrich Heine. In 1860, he visited Boston and met with writers James Thomas Fields, James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. He became a personal friend to many of them, including Henry Adams, William James, Henry James, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. In 1860 Howells wrote Abraham Lincoln's campaign biography Life Of Abraham Lincoln and subsequently gained a consulship in Venice. He married Elinor Mead on Christmas Eve 1862 at the American embassy in Paris. She was a sister of sculptor Larkin Goldsmith Mead and architect William Rutherford Mead of the firm McKim, Mead, and White. Among their children was architect John Mead Howells. Editorship and other literary pursuits: The Howells returned to America in 1865 and settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He wrote for various magazines, including the Atlantic Monthly and Harper's Magazine. In January 1866, James Fields offered him a position as assistant editor at the Atlantic Monthly; he accepted after successfully negotiating for a higher salary, though he was frustrated by Fields' close supervision. .............
