Charms [short story] by Shweta Narayan
A shopgirl who dabbles in charms thinks about pursuing higher magical learning, which is traditionally an exclusively male domain. I generally like this kind of historical fantasy but I'm not sure that this story added anything novel to the genre. Short and enjoyable, though.
