This one was all right, though I felt its narrative voice got a bit muddled.
This story isn't the best reworking of the Frankenstein trope I've encountered, the best was in an episode of Fantasy and Science Fiction I read when I was fourteen, wherein the monster is reenvisioned as a child...

Argh, when I go to the back issues page, it actually shows the front cover of the issue I'm talking about, but I can't blow it up to read who was in the issue. If you go there, it's on the bottom right of the diplayed covers, from 1992. Does anyone remember the story I'm talking about?
Sorry, back to the story.
The moral transformation of the narrator is unprecipitated; she seems to enjoy being cruel, so someone pointing out her cruelty doesn't seem like a believable reason for her deciding to change her ways.
There are so many more issues raised than answered by this story in terms of sexual equality, social morality, etc. It was cute, but nothing that will stick with me.
