ENG-158 Rebels and Renegades in American Women's Writing
This course introduces students to the voices of unconventional, independent, and renegade women, as both authors and characters, from the early 19th century to the present day. Focusing on "nasty women" and "unruly voices" in American women's writing, we explore both the benefits and the costs of being an outspoken female voice in a patriarchal society.
Regularly assigned essays on the reading provide the basis for individualized instruction in clear, correct, and persuasive writing. Fulfills the Literature Requirement of the CAS Core Curriculum.
