Description:

Harris Through fiction, autobiography, film, popular culture, and feminist theory, this course examines representations of young women of diverse color/class/sexual identities in "coming of age" narratives of post-World War II U.S.A.context. In exploring the intersections of ethnicity/race, class, sexuality, gender, and intellectual/creative agency in the narratives, we examine how the author/female protagonists revise and resist prescriptive notions of female "coming of age."
