Course Description
This English course will explore literature written by America's female novelists. We will begin the course with material written at the start of the twentieth century and trace its progression to the new millennium. Through research on the author's background and critical analysis of the writing, students will chronicle in historical context the changing role of women socially, politically, and economically.

Students who enjoy literature and history are encouraged to sign up for this course. This class does not have a gender bias :-)

This is considered an Honors Level course.
