This course offers an in-depth study of fiction written by women from different time periods and different parts of the world.

Alongside these works of fictions, we will discuss seminal essays of feminist theory that help to elucidate the novels. In this course, students will develop an introduction to the terms and idea of feminist theory; recognize the themes and narrative style of women’s writing; and craft an original argument rooted in and textual analysis and literary criticism.
