The purpose of this class is to introduce students to the rich contributions of women to the field of literature. The course will cover a variety of women writers that may range from the medieval period to the present and will feature literary genres such as fiction, poetry, drama, non-fiction, and journals/diaries. In discussing and writing about these works, students will consider why women were excluded or marginalized in the canon for such a large part of literary history and how society, family, and politics impacted the way these women wrote.
