The course traces the development of women's writing across five centuries of social, political and literary change; it focuses on every genre of women’s writing from the poetry of the Renaissance to 21st century autobiography; using contemporary gender and feminist theory as a methodological framework, students explore where, why and how the female voice has changed and where it has stayed the same; in this way the roots of modern day women’s intellectual expression of love, lust, need, shame, anger and dispossession are made powerfully visible.
