ENG124

This course is a historical survey of women writers in the U.S. We will examine multiple genres of autobiography, poetry, fiction, drama, and the essay, and trace a tradition of women's writing concerned with both national issues and women's experiences. The course will pay particular attention to the ways in which women's literature resists patriarchal oppression, and engages with liberation and empowerment of women. U.S. Women's literature offers valuable insights into U.S. gender construction, feminist thought, and intersectional identities. This course counts toward the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies major/minor. USIDG, Fall semester
