Course Description: This course will cover a variety of women writers, primarily from the early twentieth
century up to the present day and primarily American, as a lens through which to view the field of Women’s
Literature. The reading list is ethnically diverse and also represents women of different social/economic groups,
geographic regions, and affectional preferences. This reflects the huge variation encompassed by the word
“women.” One prominent theme of the course will be girls and young women coming of age. Students’ individual
responses to the texts will be at the heart of this course. Although I will provide the class with historical and
critical frameworks that shape our understanding of these writers, it is the students’ interaction with them that will
form the basis of our discussions.
Teaching Method: Discussion, small group work, student presentations, and extensive writing by students.
Requirements: One oral presentation on a woman writer; three 4-6 page papers. Daily attendance required.
Tentative Reading List: The Awakening Kate Chopin; O Pioneers Willa Cather; The Color Purple Alice Walker;
Their Eyes Were Watching God Zora Neale Hurston; The Joy Luck Club Amy Tan; American Indian Stories
Zitkala-Sa; Paper Wings Marly Swick; A Gate at the Stairs Lorrie Moore.
