ENG 245 — Images of Women in Literature
This course is designed to familiarize students with the ways in which the role of women has been portrayed in literature. By identifying various stereotypes, archetypes, and recurrent themes in a range of texts by female and male authors, students will explore how literature reflects and sometimes determines societal expectations about gender. Texts may include those of authors such as Sylvia Plath, Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo, Henrik Ibsen or Tennessee Williams.CUNY Pathways: Flexible Core-Individual & Society
