WSGS 468W - Women's Voices-Hispanic Lit

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

WSGS - Women & Gender Studies

Description:

This course will introduce students to the largely overlooked works of women writers both in Spain and Spanish America. It will examine the role of women in the socio-religious and historical context of their worlds determined and controlled by men. Note will be taken of the social and legal obstacles which impeded publication of the writings of Hispanic women. While the course readings will focus on the works of twentieth-century authors, sufficient attention will be given to the writings of earlier women to afford the student a historical perspective of the field.
