| SOSC 223 - AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS: DIVERSE VOICES |
|
This women's studies course surveys a wide range of American women's voices and feminist literary criticism. We will consider women along many axes including those of race, class, sexual orientation, historical period, age, ability, etc. We will attempt, over the course of the semester, to frame and to answer a variety of questions about women writers in America. The feminist and cultural studies critical and theoretical readings throughout the semester will help set questions and establish tentative frameworks. Students will be expected to produce short responses to the readings each week, a take-home midterm exam, a 5-10 page paper on a longer work (novel or autobiography) from among a list of choices, and an in-class final exam.
