'I Stand Here Ironing' is one of the short stories featured in the short story collection titled 'Tell Me A Riddle', by author Tillie Olsen, one of the first female writers to be part of the first generation of the feminist movement. It was published in 1961.

This particular story is written using first person narrative, meaning that the story is narrated by the same character in the story, just as if we were inside of their head.

This narrator or character in the story, is remembering how she parented her first child, Emily. Using her thoughts, and how she relates them to the story, she attempts to describe how she would have raised Emily if she had been more experienced and had better options at hand. '<em>What can I do now, that it is too late?'  </em>is one of the main questions that she tries to solve in her narrative.

It creates a deep impact on the reader, because the story is narrated from a personal stance, from a more intimate point of view, and it allows the reader to create a deeper connection with the story and the way that the mother of five more children would have done things differently.

It is certainly, one of Olsen's most famous works, Have a great day and a wonderful week! :)

Who did Miranda tell first when she realized her apartment was left unlocked in the book
topjm [15]

Answer:

Miranda gets her first note from "you" that fall when she finds her apartment door unlocked. The note asks where the key to the apartment is (weird?) and that the writer is on his/her way to save Miranda's friend. Miranda finds a second note one day when she's counting a bag of bread rolls at Jimmy's sandwich shop. The note addresses her by her name, says she must write a letter about things that haven't happened yet, and asks her not to tell anyone about the notes. Needless to say, Miranda is freaked out by all of this.
