This course will in­tro­duce you to writ­ings by se­lected women writ­ers, both major au­thors and less well-known women writer. We will ex­plore a va­ri­ety of gen­res: fic­tion, po­etry, drama, mem­oir, and non-fic­tion. While we will be fo­cus­ing pri­mar­ily on Amer­i­can women writ­ers, we will also read se­lected writ­ers from around and ex­plore is­sues of glob­al­iza­tion as they re­late to lit­er­a­ture by women. The course will focus on read­ings that ex­plore con­cepts of iden­tity and the ways in which race, class, gen­der, sex­u­al­ity, and eth­nic­ity in­ter­sect to shape one’s ex­pe­ri­ence, sense of self and un­der­stand­ing of the world. Through an analy­sis of lit­er­ary texts by women, and sit­u­at­ing them in their his­tor­i­cal, po­lit­i­cal and so­cial con­texts, we will ex­am­ine the re­la­tion­ship be­tween lit­er­ary nar­ra­tives and larger po­lit­i­cal and so­cial move­ments. To do so, we will sup­ple­ment our analy­sis of lit­er­ary texts with the­o­ret­i­cal in­quiry and his­tor­i­cal re­search to de­velop a fuller un­der­stand­ing of the so­cial and cul­tural sig­nif­i­cance of each work.

This course will introduce you to writings by selected women writers, both major authors and less well-known women writer. We will explore a variety of genres: fiction, poetry, drama, memoir, and non-fiction. While we will be focusing primarily on American women writers, we will also read selected writers from around and explore issues of globalization as they relate to literature by women. The course will focus on readings that explore concepts of identity and the ways in which race, class, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity intersect to shape one’s experience, sense of self and understanding of the world. Through an analysis of literary texts by women, and situating them in their historical, political and social contexts, we will examine the relationship between literary narratives and larger political and social movements. To do so, we will supplement our analysis of literary texts with theoretical inquiry and historical research to develop a fuller understanding of the social and cultural significance of each work.
