ENGL-308 - WOMEN IN LITERATURE   3 credits
This course will focus on the roles, myths, and stereotypes of women in different historical periods, and relate these roles to the social structure, the status, and function of women in the particular social setting in which the literary works were written. The study will enable us to discover to what extent the image of women in literature reflects reality, and to what extent it is an ideal encouraged to keep women in a particular role. An anthology of short stories by internationally-known women writers is a required text, along with Kate Chopin’s novel The Awakening. PREREQUISITE: ENGL-100; RECOMMENDED: ENGL-200. Honors component available.
