ENGL 219(F) Introduction to Literature by Women

This course will consider literary works written by women as occasions where women acknowledge and confront both each other and a literary culture which has traditionally defined feminine identity and excluded female voices. While including a wide range of women, the course will study in greater depth such writers as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Adrienne Rich, Sylvia Plath, Margaret Atwood, Audre Lorde, and Tsitsi Dangarembga. Requirements: one 4- to 5-page essay, one 6- to 8-page essay, open-book midterm exam, and a take-home final exam. Prerequisite: English 101. Enrollment limited to 40.
