Read by TriciaG
Divers Women is a thought-provoking collection of short stories that explores the multifaceted nature of womanhood through the lens of Christianity. Each narrative delves into the complexities of character, revealing both the strengths and weaknesses that women exhibit in their spiritual and domestic lives.
Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, Pansy’s stories reflect the societal expectations and personal struggles faced by women of her time. Through a variety of characters and situations, she examines themes of faith, morality, and the challenges of living a virtuous life.
This anthology not only offers insight into the lives of women but also invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and beliefs. With a blend of realism and moral inquiry, Divers Women stands out as a significant work that encourages contemplation on the role of women in both the home and the church.

I prefer novels, so I couldn't mark this very high. Story 6 is NOT a 'meet cute'; a guy following you home for 2 miles, on foot and in a blizzard, is not chivalrous, it's stalker-ish.

I plan too read aloud some of these stories to girls and ladies before we sleep on our church mission's trip.

I discovered Pansy's books because of a visit I made to the original Chautauqua in upstate New York. It was so nice there and I've wanted to know more about the history ever since. I loved the Chautauqua series and every other story by Pansy to which I have listened. TriciaG and Pansy will ever be joined in my mind. I so look forward to when I will meet them both in heaven and be able to hug them for the way the stories have bolstered my faith, given me answers to questions I have had, have helped me to grow in boldness to speak of my faith in Christ.
