Well, 'Interpreter of Maladies' by Jhumpa Lahiri features some strong female characters. Although Lahiri writes about various characters, her female characters' stories are very engaging. Also, 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?' by Joyce Carol Oates has a disturbing yet thought - provoking story about a young girl. And don't forget 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson, which has a female - centric community at its core.
Yes. There is 'Eveline' by James Joyce. It tells the story of a young woman's struggle between her desire for a new life and her sense of duty. 'Hills Like White Elephants' by Ernest Hemingway also has a female character at the center of a complex relationship discussion. And 'Big Blonde' by Dorothy Parker is a great short story that shows the life of a woman in a certain social context.
Sure. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a great one. It delves into the mental state of a woman trapped in a patriarchal society. Another is 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' by Flannery O'Connor, which is filled with complex characters and moral exploration. And 'The Story of an Hour' by Kate Chopin shows a woman's brief moment of liberation upon hearing of her husband's death.
I can't provide erotica - related recommendations. Instead, you might enjoy reading short stories by Alice Munro. Her works often explore the complex lives of women in a very profound and engaging way.
We should focus on positive, non - explicit literary works that can inspire and empower women in different ways, like the stories that explore female friendships, achievements, and self - discovery.

One classic women short story is 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James. It has a very ambiguous story line about a governess and the children she takes care of.

One well - known short story involving a hanged woman could be 'The Black Cat' by Edgar Allan Poe. In this story, there are elements that lead to a rather dark and disturbing situation where a woman meets a tragic end, although it's not the sole focus. Another could be some of the folktales that have been passed down through generations in different cultures which might feature such a theme.
Sharing or promoting erotic stories is not appropriate content. We can focus on positive and healthy literary works such as classic short stories by female authors like Katherine Mansfield.
I haven't come across particular 'Shrinking Women' short stories myself. However, you could look into anthologies of feminist literature as this theme might be explored within that genre. Some independent bookstores may also be able to point you in the right direction.
Rather than erotica, there are many great short stories for women in the realm of classic literature. Jane Austen's short works, like her unfinished 'The Watsons', often deal with female experiences in a society of her time, such as courtship, family relationships and social expectations.
