The course will focus especially on works written by women in the past two centuries, with a consideration of why women artists have become productive so relatively late in history. The connections between artistic expression and active effort to change the world will be of particular interest. The traditional ways of portraying women, by male and female authors, will be examined against the actual lived experience of women both in the past and today.

Questions that will be discussed include: Are women complicit in their subordination? How are the challenges that female characters face different from those faced by male characters in the fiction we read?

What do women have to say? Why do women write? This class will pay special attention to questions of literary tradition: is there a female tradition that is distinct from a male tradition?

If so, what are its concerns? How do women writers draw upon the works of their literary "mothers"? While we focus on commonalities among women and women writers, we will also concern ourselves with the differences that exist among our authors.

How, we will ask, do women writers revise and contest each other's works? How can we get beyond the label "woman writer" to an appreciation of individuality and diversity? Finally, why is it even necessary to study women writers as a separate subject? Because so much reading is scheduled, there will be no midterm or final exam, unless it seems necessary for students to evidence that they have read and understand the material. Instead of a midterm and final, there will be two assigned papers, each of which should be five or more pages in length.

Students must be punctual when class begins and after breaks. Being late three times is equivalent to being absent once.
