You can read my Green Man Review of the books here

but basically the book Focuses on supernatural fiction written by women Between the end of the Civil War and roughly 1930. The book makes the point that many fo thse stories focused upon women's issues such as female agency or the idea of "a room of her own," even if it is a haunted room, as in Madeline Yale Wynne's story
"The Little Room" http://gaslight.mtroyal.ca/littlerm.htm .
