What does it mean to be a woman writer? Can a “women’s literature” be said to exist? How have historical and social conditions shaped our constructions of gender? How have female writers supported and/or subverted stereotypes about gender? Come discuss these questions and more as we examine how women writers throughout different time periods have explored issues of femininity and womanhood. Both male and female students are welcome in the course.
