Margaret Atwood's sharp, incisive prose chronicles the experiences of women navigating identity, isolation, and desire in a world both familiar and subtly menacing. The collection presents a gallery of characters — students, wives, immigrants, and outsiders — each caught in moments of social friction or private revelation, rendered with Atwood's characteristic blend of wit, irony, and psychological precision. First published in 1977, the stories range in setting from Canada to the United States to Europe, yet each one uncovers the same universal anxieties about belonging, power, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956366586075,"sku":"2026200008581-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4fc00daf-a896-4b73-b5de-d4a70338be68.png?v=1783500318","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008581-secondhand-dancing-girls","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
