GNDR 300U - Women Warriors

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Gender Studies

Description:

This class will explore the phenomenon of women warriors, or strong female characters in literature and (popular) culture. We will start with antiquity and skip along through the ages as our readings and whims dictate. We will interrogate the existence and persistence of the woman warrior and juxtapose her with the "traditional" male warrior. By the end of May Term, you will have an increased appreciation for and depth of understanding of women warriors across time and cultures; be able to articulate the role of women warriors in contemporary culture; and have a working definition of a "woman warrior."
