Course details

Name: ENLT - 372

Title: WOMEN PROSE WRITERS

Section: 21

Semester: Summer - 2012

Credits: 3

Description:
We will read fiction and non-fiction prose written by women from the United States and other countries, looking at works which span the 18th-21st centuries, though with a primary focus on writers after 1900. We will consider what it means to be a woman writer, what it means to write as a woman, and how women writers address issues such as gender, women’s “place,” culture, family, love, and politics. The course readings will be organized around thematic clusters, rather than chronologically, allowing us to consider continuities and changes in women’s arguments over time as well as across cultures. Authors will likely include Virginia Woolf, Azar Nafisi, Jhumpa Lahiri, Sarah Scott, Yiyun Li, and Fatou Diome, among others. One 5-6 page essay, final exam, brief presentation, and some informal writing.
