Subject:

Description:

GSS During the 1960s and 1970s, a "second wave" offeminism emerged, a movement with many divergent voices and many ideals of feminism. This course is concerned with how women writers, poets, and artists fashioned new ways of selfrepresentation in an ever-changing social and political scene. Students begin by examining Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. It was this book that inspired feminists such as Betty Friedan, Erica Jong, and Germaine Greer. Students also read Audre Lorde, Doris Lessing, Adrienne Rich, and other writers and poets.
