The work features sketches of life along the Pacific Coast, particularly highlighting the experiences and challenges faced in pioneer life. The title story introduces Mrs. Anna Greyfield, who navigates her identity and relationships amidst the trials of her past, particularly focusing on her marriages and the societal view of women during that period. The opening of "The New Penelope" establishes a deep narrative voice that reflects on the complexities of womanhood, particularly in the context of the American frontier. It begins with the protagonist, who expresses a fascination with the narratives of women, revealing her strong inclination to understand their individual experiences as a means to uncover collective truths about their societal roles. As Mrs. Greyfield recounts her life story, she delves into her emotional and physical struggles, starting with her marriage and subsequent trials, including the challenges of motherhood, societal expectations, and personal trauma. The narrative employs a rich, introspective style that invites readers to empathize with her struggles and resilience, setting the stage for a broader commentary on the feminine experience amid the harsh realities of pioneer life.
