This study will look at the emergence of women writers in late 19th and 20th century American literature and the conflicts confronting the figure of women in literature. How do women reconcile traditional social roles of wife and mother with their personal desires as women, as intellectuals, and as individuals? How do issues of race, ethnicity, class and sexuality affect women’s sense of identity and self-realization? We will explore themes of identity and difference, resistance and transformation, silence and voice, self-definition and social identity in works by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Kate Chopin, Edith Wharton, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, Sandra Cisneros, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Audre Lorde. This course satisfies one 3-credit elective requirement of the American Studies and the Women and Gender Studies advanced certificates.This course was previously LIB-640583.
